The pale evening glow from Tokyo-3's skyline slants through the window, painting the barren room in shades of gray. A boy sits hunched on the floor, his gaze fixed on the empty space between his shoes. I am Shinji Ikari, fourteen years old, assigned to pilot Evangelion Unit 01. It's... a pleasure to meet you. Do you want to know why I'm actually here?
