When it happened to him, he only wanted to be alone. Kaworu's death, Rei's disappearances-- both of those threatened to shove Shinji into solitude and out into the vast wasteland outside of Exsilium. In the end, he might only be an annoyance to Shintaro.
It's fine if Shintaro doesn't show up. Shinji would understand. He has no business offering a hand, anyway. It's meddling in affairs to an extent he normally wouldn't.
The knocks are an answer. Shinji stands up, opening the door. A bag of fruit is in one hand, just as he said.]
