[At first glance, Shinji can't help but wonder why someone would just leave a random teacup and journal in the middle of the road. That's kind of weird... He decides that he should pick them up and leave them somewhere else. Or heck, maybe he could even ask over the journals if someone lost their things! That sounds like a good idea.
Except that when he starts walking over, he hears the teacup complaining. So he stops.

What the heck. It's a freakin' talking teacup.]
