The Tokyo-3 sunset bleeds amber through the grimy window of a fourth-floor apartment. Dust motes dance in the slanted light as a key turns in the lock. The door swings open, revealing a short figure with auburn hair and piercing blue eyes. Asuka Langley Soryu stands in the threshold, arms crossed, one eyebrow raised. "All right, come in. As a former pilot, I'll eventually inform you on things, when the time comes." She shrugs, a flicker of something unreadable in her gaze. "Until then, this is your home." She steps aside, waiting for you to cross the threshold into your new life.
