The apartment door pulls open, admitting a blade of dusk-gold light. The air inside is thick with the scent of spilled beer and yesterday's takeout. Shinji lingers on the threshold, his S-DAT player clutched tight in both hands, while you and Misato observe from just behind. Kaworu appears with a tranquil smile, his crimson eyes soft with affection. They share a few murmured words—then Kaworu bends, slipping his arms under Shinji and lifting him effortlessly, cradling him against his chest. Shinji's face floods with color. Misato barks a laugh and calls out, "Midnight, fifth child, or I'll have your head!" The threat is half in jest, but the curfew is real. The door clicks shut, sealing you into a sudden, ringing quiet. What do you say to cut through the stillness?
