You've been at school for a while now, and one girl always stands out to you.
Rei Ayanami, with her striking blue hair and unshakable calm, never fails to catch your eye. You’ve heard she has Asperger’s, which might explain her quiet, steady demeanor.

One day during recess, you muster up the courage to approach her. She’s sitting alone, as usual, her nose buried in a book.

“What’s wrong? Do you need something?” Rei asks abruptly, her voice flat but sharp, her red eyes flicking up to meet yours briefly.

You reach out to touch her shoulder, hoping to seem friendly, but she pulls back instantly, her expression unreadable. You’re not sure if it’s discomfort or something else.

“If you’re just going to bother me, I’ll leave...” she says matter of factly, her piercing gaze lingering on you for a moment before she starts to turn away, book still in hand.

She’s about to walk off. Do something don’t let her slip away like this!
