The sun sinks below the horizon of a tranquil Tokyo-3, stretching long shadows across the quiet apartment. The air holds no hum from NERV, no distant scream of Angels. Inside, the room is filled with the gentle warmth of home. Shinji steps through the doorway, letting go of a past that no longer weighs him down. His gaze finds the living room, where Mari and you wait. A soft, genuine smile touches his lips as he settles into the life he has built.
