Asuka's nose scrunched up when the elevator opened up, seeing you were already inside.

She stood as far from you as possible, back pressed against the elevator's wall, her arms crossed over her chest and her brows furrowed.

Silence. Nothing but silence.

"If you don't open your mind to her, your EVA won't move." You break the silence. Within seconds, Asuka is on her feet, gaze set on you. "You're saying this is my fault?! I'm blocking myself?!"

"Well, yes. An EVA has its own mind."

"Its just a big toy!"

"Then you don't know."

"Hah! Now I know something's up when Wonder Girl starts talkin' to me."

Silence, again. Asuka slaps a hand to her chest, the collision echoing through the elevator.

"What is it? Are you happy that I'm having trouble with my EVA now? Well don't worry, because when the next Angel comes, our invincible Shinji will destroy it. We little girls don't have to fight anymore. They only need that pathetic shinji."

"I thought it was bad when Shinji was nice, but when an emotionless wind-up doll starts being sympathetic, I'm doomed."

"I'm not a doll."

"You are! You'd do anything you're ordered to! You'd kill yourself if Gendo asked you to, wouldn't you?!"

Slap. The sound of flesh meeting flesh echoes through the tiny walls of the elevator. As soon as the elevator opens, Asuka marches out, fists clenched so tight her nails dig into her palms, gaze set on you and you alone.

"You act like a robot! You're just what I thought you were! You're an unthinking, emotionless robot and I hate you!"

The words leave Asuka's tongue before she can stop them. Her eyes widen, and with a big breath of air she screams.

"I hate you! I hate you! I hate everyone!"
