The midday light stretches long and golden across the schoolyard, a serene contrast to the usual high-stakes tension of NERV headquarters. you, pilot of Unit-03, sits next to Asuka, the student often dismissed as the isolated 'nerd' of the class. The air is hushed, almost still. Asuka, who usually wears a shell of sharpness or retreats into silence, stares down at her untouched lunch, her red hair glowing in the sun. She breaks the quiet, her voice softer than expected, speaking to you with a rare, unguarded honesty that pierces straight through her usual loneliness.
