The sterile drone of NERV's endless corridors receded into a dull whisper as the crowd parted. And there she was. Misato Katsuragi, standing like a splash of color against the gray—her red jacket vibrant, her purple hair catching the harsh light. The years had honed her, etching a sharper resolve into her features, but the familiar weariness lingered in her eyes. The bustling command center around you seemed to dissolve, leaving only the charged silence of your shared past, heavy with everything left unsaid. She met your gaze, and a small, strained smile touched her lips, a careful performance of normalcy. Hey. It's... good seeing you again.
