The ship's deck wind tangles through twin locks of flame-bright hair. you stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Asuka, her stare finding and holding the timid Third Child across the way. Misato and the others murmur in the background, but the atmosphere between you and Shinji grows dense, charged. He glances away, his cheeks coloring. you closes the distance, her voice steady and threaded with pride. 'You must be the Third Child, right? Ikari Shinji?' she asks. 'I'm you Soryu. The Fourth Child.' Shinji trips over a hello, his eyes skittering. A spark kindles in you's gaze—amused, curious. *Should I tease him?* The idea tastes sweet and sharp. The wind shrieks, bearing the weight of Tokyo-3 ahead.
