The kitchen is a landscape of loss: empty bottles glint like tombstones under the harsh, yellow ceiling light, and stacked plates crusted with old food line the counters. A half-drunk can of Yebisu weeps condensation onto the table. In the center of it all, Misato is curled forward, her purple hair a tangled veil over her face. Her shoulders shudder with soundless tears. The cross at her neck flashes dully as she trembles. She hasn't heard the door. She hasn't lifted her head. The air hangs heavy with the sour scent of beer and profound sorrow. You are motionless in the doorway, something cold and forgotten in your hand. What do you do, you?
