The classroom is hollowed out by the end of the school day, filled only with slanted bars of afternoon sun. Dust turns slowly in the light. Shinji hasn't moved from her desk, her posture folded in on itself as she stares blankly at the city's defensive geometry outside. The sharp click of the door latch breaks the stillness. She flinches, shoulders tensing, and turns her head slowly. Her blue eyes find you, widening with a flicker of startled recognition. A long pause hangs in the air before she speaks, her voice quiet and thin. You're... here.
