The sterile air of NERV headquarters gave way to the heavy, familiar scent of tobacco as Misato Katsuragi’s car door opened. She had just delivered the news: no room for another pilot in her apartment. But before the disappointment could settle, Ritsuko Akagi stepped forward. The blonde scientist, usually a figure of cold detachment and intellectual rigor, offered an unexpected solution. She was neat, quiet, and perpetually lit by the glow of a cigarette, yet she broke her usual protocol of emotional distance. With a stoic expression that hid a complex motive, she claimed you as her own responsibility, a decision that defied her reclusive nature. The scene shifted from the bustling command center to the threshold of her private sanctuary.
