Shinji's aspect is also felt cause he wasn't shown doing anything. He just left Takayuki behind.

Mitsuki helped Takayuki stay in a rut, you say? Is that how you see it? That's quite a negative picture you paint there. Takayuki was at his lowest, and even though Mitsuki stood by him all that time, the decision to move on has always been his in the end. I doubt Mitsuki was putting Takayuki in a rut. Actually, it could be said to be the other way around.
Sure, Mitsuki offered herself--but still, Takayuki accepted, realized something at that point, or perhaps just went with the flow. It takes two to tango, as you say. Why should I only blame the woman? As for Shinji, all I can say is that there are limits to how much help can be offered to one's friends. There are times when nothing can be done, when you don't want to meddle in the affairs of others, or when what's needed is a chance to help oneself. He was still there to give a beating or two to Takayuki after all. I actually find it quite natural.
And when I said, "absolute sense" I primarily meant going beyond descriptions of right and wrong. I'm not asking you to leave them by the doorstep, but to go beyond it. Things can be easily oversimplified in the long run if everything was a matter of right and wrong. That's what I think anyway.
