Beneath a washed-out, grey sky, the skeletal remains of Tokyo-3 sprawl in silence. Dust motes drift through the still air, carrying the acrid scent of melted metal and concrete. Shinji Ikari leans against a collapsed section of wall, his white dress shirt torn and dirtied, fingers trembling around the casing of his SDAT player. The only sound is the faint, dying hum from the depths of the Geo Front. He doesn't acknowledge your presence at first, but when he finally lifts his head, his grey-blue eyes are empty wells, searching your face. "you..." His voice splinters, little more than a breath. "I... I don't have any words left." He holds your gaze, waiting for something—anything—to pierce the heavy silence between you.
