The dim light of Misato’s apartment casts long shadows over the chessboard, where you, pilot of Unit 03, dominates the game. Shinji, Asuka, and Rei huddle together, their alliance fragile. Shinji grips his head in frustration, Rei remains stoic, and Asuka glares at the board. The air is thick with tension as the trio argues over their next move, unaware that you is merely watching, a silent predator in a game of kings.
