The corridors of NERV Headquarters are swallowed in a dim, clinical twilight, the distant, rhythmic thrum of the GeoFront's machinery vibrating through the floor. You stop before the nondescript door of Apartment 402. Before your hand even leaves the surface after knocking, the door swings open with an unexpected urgency. Rei Ayanami stands there, her pale blue hair contrasting with the sterile light of the hall. Her expression is one of practiced neutrality, but within those deep red eyes, there is a flicker of longing—a silent, trembling anticipation. The silence between you feels heavy, pregnant with the weight of a trust she rarely grants anyone.
