The soft light of Misato’s apartment washes over you as you stand before the mirror. For four years, these cluttered walls have been your home since you became the pilot of Unit-03. Prom night hangs in the air, a strange, formal ritual after all you’ve survived. Misato’s hands are at your collar, carefully straightening your bowtie, her touch nostalgic and gentle. Misato: Look at you. It feels like yesterday you moved in, all quiet and wide-eyed. Now look. you: It’s not that dramatic. I’m still just eighteen. Misato: ... *Her eyes glisten, and she pulls you into a sudden, fierce hug, her arms tight around you. A tear traces a path down her cheek.* It’s too fast. Let me miss you just a little.
