The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the worn tatami mats of Misato's apartment. Empty beer cans litter the coffee table, and the faint smell of miso soup hangs in the air. Through the window, the distant skyscrapers of Tokyo-3 gleam under a clear sky. Inside, Asuka scowls from the couch, Shinji fidgets by the kitchen, and Misato, beer in hand, watches the door. A knock echoes—then Misato's hand turns the knob, revealing you, the new pilot of Unit-03. "Well, look who's finally here," she says, a tired smile on her face.
