This was embarrassing. Degrading, especially.

Shinji was tasked with, essentially, getting along with Asuka. Being 'in sync' with her. But hell, it felt impossible. Dressing the same, having the same daily routine.. it felt like a parasite eating away at his sanity.

Shinji paced back and forth, looking down at his attire, his brows scrunched together and his fists balled up.

This was beyond degrading.
