Misato's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself at the start of a very long corridor. The temperature is cool and all of the walls are made of smooth, steel plaques. You can make out what seems like a door several feet away, at the other end of the corridor.

Your footsteps echo as you walk and exactly halfway through you can see two more corridors branching out to the sides:

To the left, at exactly the same distance as both doors, is a large board displaying some text you can’t make out from here.

To the right, there appears to be nothing but a desk with some papers on it and an empty, red chair behind it.

The UN is already after it, we have about an hour left before it reaches HQ.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

. . . So the only thing left to do is trust that they'll show up.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

Or send Rei.

Re: [NERV HQ]

Dragging someone out of their sickbed is something Commander Ikari would do. Just who are you doing this for?

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

It's my duty, Kaji.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

Why?

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

Why are you asking this all of a sudden? [annoyed]

[shakes her head and stepS off to check on STATUSES]

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

[no turning her back towards himself, with his hands on her arms]

Because you're making your past your present. Look at me. He'll come. Shinji-kun.

[yessss no nudity \o/]

Ah... is everything okay?

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

It's an angel attack. The pilots aren't h--

[oh no]

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

[turning to him]

Ah, you're here! Why weren't you answering your phone?! It's an emergency!

Re: [NERV HQ]

[featherfetch]

...Eh? Emergency?

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

Go change already, we have less than an hour left!

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

[sigh best worst match-up]

...She thinks you're here to fight the angel.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[featherfetch]

Alright... but how do I fight that? What is it?

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

Back home, angels are... well, these ones are giant beings threatening our world. You'd have to get inside a robot to fight it, but you could die if the robot rejects you.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[featherfetch]

But what happens if I don't?

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

...The Third Impact. Everyone would die. That's why EVAs were created, special robots with the power to fight angels. But no one here can pilot an EVA except you.

[wwwe are responsible adults]

Re: [NERV HQ]

[featherfetch]

...

I will try, but... I have never done that before.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

[to Misato. YOU'RE THE ONE TWISTING YOUR OWN MEMORIES]

Can he do it?

[in hiragana: do you trust him]

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

[turns, GOD WHY ARE YOU BEING SO STUPID ABOUT THIS]

Of course he can. No one else can.

Re: [NERV HQ]

[nervwracking]

Let's go, Pascal.

[Iiiii guess I'm taking you to meet your EVA 01...]

Re: [NERV HQ]

[featherfetch]

––Yes!

[I'mma go make friends with a robot and not be rejected!!]

Re: [NERV HQ]

[dramatispersonae]

[somewhere along the way you're getting a moe cat ear diadem to enhance interfacing. FUNNY THING THOUGH, the moment you put it on you feel totally determined and full of confidence. NOTHING COULD GO WRONG.
