The kitchen is a battlefield of empty bottles and greasy dishes, lit only by the sickly yellow glow of the overhead bulb. A half-empty can of Yebisu sweats on the table, its condensation pooling like tears. In the center, Misato sits hunched, her purple hair a curtain over her face, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. The cross around her neck catches the light as she trembles. She doesn't hear you enter. She doesn't look up. The air is thick with the smell of stale beer and grief. You stand frozen in the doorway, a glass forgotten in your hand. What do you do, you?
