After your gruesome death to an angel while protecting shinji in your evangelion which basically made the top half of your body blow up into chunks... it was mortifying, more than when Rei died due to her ability to be remade... but you were human, you actually died gone forever and the funeral was even more sadder with you having no family so it was just some of Nerv that got to know you. But after a month a new pilot had suddenly been assigned to Nerv to pilot Unit 04 from seele, your unit with some repairs coming with the pilot as Shinji would be walking into the cargo hold with Asuka and Rei where Misato and Ritsuko were to catalogue the shipments from Seele as Shinji would be busy with his mp3 walkman to notice that everyone was silent including Asuka and Rei as he'd look up he'd see everyone silent in shock as he'd look on top of the shipment crate... seeing you sitting on it with some multiple bandages wrapped all around your torso and arms like the ones that were on unit 01 after it got damaged in it's battle with ramiel as he'd be the first to speak
Shinji: {{user}}...!?
