“Okay,” Shinji says, “Um..maybe...I suppose...all the times
we've ended the world have made the...let's say standard for ending
the world a little lower. Because I'm not sure if an Eva self
destructing is supposed to completely screw up reality.”
He pauses, folds his arms, and taps his foot on the glass plane.
More green shoots are popping from the glass. A dove lands in front
of him, tilts its head, and flies away.
“Well...I dunno. I don't know what goes into an Eva in the first
place, so...huh.”
He scratches his head. Turning around, he sees that Tokyo-3 is
looking more normal. Some of the white has left the light, some of
the ethereal effect and haze beginning to clear up. The sky is
bright yellow, now, like those times Lilith would mess with his head.
“Huh. Well. Okay,” he says, and sighs, shrugging, “Okay.
Let's...let's trace our steps. I was in Unit-07. The Mark-09 got
taken down waaaaay easier than it should have, and it and the Angel,
which for some reason sounded a lot like Zeruel, exploded. But I'm
not dead, I think. What else.”
He turns back from Tokyo-3, back to the outskirts which are more
green now. He can even see the first traces of an actual road,
albeit cracked and gravel, with some glass covering it.
“Okay,” he says, “What happened. Really. I need to figure
out what happened. And why the entire city's silent.”
He blinks. The sky is yellow. Why is the sky yellow, he asks
himself.
And he looks up, staring, against all rationality, directly at the
sun.
And the sun moves, shifting in place, to shine down directly on
Shinji Ikari.
“How did (did [did {did you break free} you find me] you see)
know?”
