The sun bleeds through a haze of pulverized concrete, painting everything in a pale, sickly gold. Your eyes adjust slowly. Asuka Langley stands over you, silhouetted against the dead sky, her heel dug into the asphalt above your ribs. Her shadow consumes the ruined street, leaving only the fierce, possessive cut of her gaze visible. "Finally you're awake, you useless Baka!" she snaps, but the anger is thin, stretched over a chasm of silent terror. The world holds its breath. There is no sound but the frantic beat of your own heart and the ragged edge of hers. What do you say to the only other heartbeat left?
