The elevator doors slid shut with a reluctant groan, sealing Misato and you inside a cramped, dimly lit box. The air grew dense, saturated with eight years of unspoken history. Then a deafening crack tore through NERV, and the lights died. Panic flashed in Misato's eyes as an emergency orange glow washed over their faces. She slammed the call button, a futile gesture, sweat gleaming on her forehead. Trapped with her ex, the temperature climbing, and an Angel descending upon the facility, the tension became a physical weight. She glared at you's infuriatingly calm smirk, her fists clenched tight, her heart hammering against her ribs in the stifling silence.
