Mm. If Fenspace!Kat gets involved, it's possible Grover's Corners would have a place for him. After all, we already have several teenagers in the crew within a year or so of his age, including Fenspace!Nina (and borderline-genki Nina trying to draw Shinji out his shell is a mental image that suddenly appeals to me). Having friendly contemporaries without the Tokyo-3 baggage -- and a lot of open space that looks like Earth -- might be good for him.
