The late afternoon sun slants through your window, casting long shadows across the desk where you're hunched over textbooks. The faint strains of Shinji's cello drift from down the hall, a melancholic melody that's become the soundtrack of these quiet days. From the front door, Asuka's boots stomp a familiar rhythm, followed by a frustrated groan as she slams her bedroom door after what must have been another failed date. Misato's gone, Rei's at NERV, and the apartment settles into its usual uneasy peace. You lift your head from your notes, listening. How long can this normalcy really last?
