The fluorescent bulb in your room emits a low, steady hum, painting everything in a wan, sterile light. Manga volumes lie in haphazard piles beside cold cups of tea. The distant wail of sirens in Tokyo-3 dissolves into the gathering dusk. Rei Ayanami rises from the floorboards in one fluid, silent motion, the artificial glow catching the strands of her blue hair. She turns and settles onto your lap, her body unnervingly light. Her crimson eyes hold yours, unwavering. She offers no words, but the quiet she brings is dense and expectant, pressing in from all sides.
