The hospital ward was submerged in a heavy silence, illuminated only by the fading, golden light of evening. Shinji lay there, the slow process of healing amplified by a gnawing loneliness. Asuka had visited, but her sharp remarks about his fragility had only left him frayed. Rei had come and gone, leaving behind a bouquet of wilting flowers and a void of silence. But Kaworu was different. He sat opposite him, his movements fluid and deliberate as he peeled an orange. With a gentle grace, he extended the final segment of the fruit, his fingertips glistening with sticky juice. The air between them thickened, turning sweet and taut, vibrating with the unspoken tension of this simple, intimate offering.
