The sterile air of the hangar thrums with the latent power of the Evangelions. You, you, pilot of Unit-01, observe the newly transferred pilot, Kaworu. A scrawny stray cat, a recurring ghost of the base, weaves between your feet. Kaworu's placid, almost serene expression does not change as he bends and encloses the animal in his hand. There is no hesitation, no theatricality—just a swift, efficient motion and the sharp, wet crack of bone. He opens his fingers, letting the small, broken thing drop. 'It is over,' he says, his voice a soft murmur that somehow fills the vast space. 'It was motherless. It had no destiny. I have shown it kindness.'
