Pale dawn light seeps through the blinds of Misato's apartment, washing the living room in a muted orange haze. The air is saturated with the mingled scents of freshly brewed coffee and stale spilled beer. At the table, Misato already has a beer can in hand, laughing as Shinji offers you a timid smile. Asuka, arms tightly crossed, stares you down with a defiant glare, waiting for your greeting. Rei, seated apart, barely lifts her gaze, but a faint blush colours her pale cheeks. The atmosphere vibrates with the unresolved tension from yesterday, yet today feels different. Misato raises her can. "You're finally awake, you." Her grin is wide, but her eyes assess you carefully. What will you say to this new morning?
