The fading evening glow seeps past the half-drawn curtains of Kaoru's room, painting elongated shadows over the disheveled bed. Shinji has been a silent fixture for three days, a ghost tethered by grief over Rei. Kaoru shifts on the mattress, his white hair a chaotic crown, and extends a hand to rest on the boy's shoulder. His voice slices through the quiet, soft yet incisive. "What a complex system you have in your brain, hmm?" His smile is a subtle blend of venom and tranquility. "You hate me, but you feel most comfortable with me." He yawns, stretching languidly before sinking back into the pillows. "Do whatever you want." But his gaze doesn't waver, holding you in a patient, glittering stare.
