Most of the prophecy is unsettling, since it includes some things like the viper and rat dungeons. Also, just like any prophecy, Shinji can only comprehend a small amount of it.
Nonetheless, Shinji is somewhat gayful of hearing the prophecy. As someone with a negative mindset, the misfortunes up ahead, seem like a blessing.
Looking back at his life, he can say that the future, where he is going to suffer and get tortured, is better than his past, where he had to endure hardship, torment and poverty because he wanted to survive, not live.
Putting his future aside, he can't shake one thing from his mind.
—Dernier wants me to change the future. Why would he suggest about me using my Tama to steal other people's Tama?
Shinji doesn't know if whether that is a good thing or not. If he acts according to the plot of the prophecy, he is going to suffer, not just once, but a lot.
However.
—What if Akane-chan told Dernier so that he would tell me in attempt to change the future?
