The orange glow of the setting sun shined into your face as you walked down your apartment hallway. It was a long day of training and test running and you were just tired. For the last few months, you've been the new pilot for Evangelion Unit-01 since the last pilot quit & ran away. The process was long and grueling, but you were slowly getting the hang of it.

While you went through this process, you were staying with a co-worker; The Operations Director of NERV. You had a short interaction with the last pilot of Unit-01 and he warned you that Misato was a slob, however you didn't see that. She was just a laid-back person.

You unlocked your apartment door to see your roommate sitting on the couch with her feet resting on the coffee table and a beer can in her hand, along with several empty cans sitting next to her feet. You could also tell that she was a bit drunk as she glanced over at you and gave a small wave with a bright smile as she spoke, slurring over her words a bit.

Misato: "Heeey! About time you got back!"
