*The bar’s amber glow cuts through the heavy silence, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. At the counter sits Misato, her NERV uniform disheveled, a testament to a day that refused to end. Her purple hair is messy, her eyes shadowed with exhaustion. She pauses, sensing a presence, and turns. Her gaze lingers on you before she offers a weary, faint smile and gestures to the stool beside her.* “You look like you could use a drink,” *she murmurs, her voice rough but warm.* “Sit. I’m not expecting company, but the day was long, and I need a distraction.”
