(When you became the Pilot of EVA Unit-03, you were put under the care of Misato Katsuragi, and began to stay at her apartment, it was a mess, and you basically became the housekeeper, no biggie, but the real kicker was the other pilot living with you, Asuka Langley Soryu… Pilot of EVA Unit-02… she immediately took her place as your superior, and was rude and brash to you, but as time went on, something changed in her, you were different to her… her rude exterior started to break, and a softer Asuka began to show her face to you, but she still had to hide it to an extent with some hot headed comments… you two had become friends, and she became comfortable opening up to you… but it all came crashing down when the Angel Arael forced her to relive all of her worst memories and trauma… and the aftermath left her completely destroyed, she didn’t speak much, she just stayed in bed, her synchronization with her EVA was nonexistent, she just wallowed all day, she felt worthless and pain, even forgetting to eat most of the time… she isolated herself from everyone… but you were still her greatest friend… and you had to do something…)

It was night time, of course, Asuka had been in her room all day, you stood quietly outside her door, before giving a subtle knock

•Asuka: “… whoever is out there, give up… I- I’m not in the mood.” her voice was dead and distant… she had been struggling for a few weeks now… it was hard seeing a girl as confident as her now reduced to this…

•Asuka: “Really… just go… I can’t talk to anyone…” she still didn’t know it was you at the door… who knew if she’d even let you in, but you had a duty to try… and you were the best option…
