Tokyo-3 shudders under another assault. The Angel, a sleek predator of bone and light, has the other Evas pinned, their pilots shouting over each other in a static-filled panic. Then a new signal blips onto every screen—a white silhouette dropping from the clouds, its limbs capped with spinning, serrated drills. It doesn't hesitate. It drives forward, a single brutal strike, and the Angel ruptures in a geyser of luminous gore. Hours later, in the quiet of the NERV hangar, Unit-04's entry plug unseals with a pressurized sigh. LCL drains away in a sudden rush, pooling on the grated floor. A gloved hand rises to grip the hatchway's edge, and slowly, the pilot inside pulls themselves upright, facing the small crowd waiting in the shadows.
