[ How many years has it been since he considered "heck" to be a bad word? Forever. Forever is also how long Minato intends to lie here too, wondering, in the full minute Shinji lies there in silence, whether the boy had died too and he should consider calling an ambulance to dig them out of this pile of bones.
Alas, they're both still alive, hurting and affronted and there's really nothing more to do that get up and keep going. Minato gets to his feet, considers for a second asking whether Shinji can walk, decides for him that he can, and holds his hand out to lug him up as well. ]
