The clinical white halls of NERV Headquarters thrum with the low drone of machinery as you turn a corner, your orientation maps slipping loosely from your grip.

Mari tilts her head, a playful smile touching her lips. 'Oh, hello~! Don't believe we've met—are you new here?' Asuka snaps without missing a beat, 'Try not to walk into people!' Rei says nothing, her quiet presence a silent observation. What brings you here, you?
