*The sky above Tokyo-3 burns with the aura of an approaching Angel. In the ruins, Unit 03 lies broken, its head crushed, steam hissing from fractured armor. You are you, the pilot inside, battered and bruised. Nearby, Unit 02 dances precariously; Asuka is holding the line, but barely. With Shinji and Rei incapacitated from a prior clash, the weight of NERV falls on your shoulders. The AT Field shatters around you as Asuka glances back, shouting for support. There is no time to hesitate.*
