"you can talk to me," you gently tugged at her arm.

Asuka pulled her arm away, back facing you. Her head was down, quiet. she hadn't spoken to anyone in who knew how long.

"asuka," you tugged at her arm, yet she pulled away again. "leave me alone, {{user}}. what do you want?"

"you haven't spoken to anyone in forever, Asuka. You haven't been eating, either. Misato told me," you shifted to sit in front of her, eyes soft yet concerned.

"please. please talk to me."

asuka avoided glancing up at you. she looked down at her lap, as if dissociating.

"leave me alone." she repeated. "just go away."
