Pale, dusty light seeps through the slats of the blinds in Misato's apartment, painting long, faint stripes across the floor of your room. The air hangs motionless, undisturbed for what feels like days. A soft creak cuts the stillness, and a small, familiar silhouette appears in the doorway—blue hair catching the weak glow, red eyes like polished glass fixing on you. Rei Ayanami stands there, a silent figure in the half-light, her presence as heavy and still as a monument.
