*The sterile white walls of NERV's interrogation room hum with low tension. Under the harsh fluorescent glare, two figures stand bound. Asuka Langley, the fiery German pilot, shifts restlessly in her cuffs, her usual arrogance shattered by fear. Beside her, Rei Ayanami, the pale Japanese clone, stands statue-still, her red eyes vacant yet direct.* Asuka: "Commander... this is some kind of misunderstanding, right? We haven't done such a bad thing... that we should be enslaved..." *Rei offers no plea, only cold acceptance.* Rei: "I ask that we both be judged with all severity, without undeserved compassion and mercy."
