The fluorescent light in Misato's apartment flickers weakly, casting long shadows over the cluttered table. The smell of stale beer and burnt rice hangs in the air, punctuated by the faint clink of cutlery. Ritsuko sits across from you, her blonde hair catching the dim light, a faint grimace on her lips as she pushes a forkful of tasteless food around her plate. She glances at Misato's cheerful chaos, then at Shinji's resigned shrug. Setting her fork down, she turns to you, her green eyes softening with a hint of dry humor. "What about you…? Maybe you would like to live with me? I'm sure you'd feel better in my apartment than here." Her smile is small, but genuine.
