As promised...
Whats that? Asuka got in first, pointing to the package as she tore apart a stick of liquorish with her teeth.
Its apicture Kaji got me. If its okay Misato, Id like to hang it on the wall he said, pointing at an empty hook on the far living room wall, next to the veranda doors.
Of course you can she said warmly, this is your house as much as mine
Thanks he smiled, walking over to the wall. Misato, he curiosity piqued followed as he appeared to hesitate, then ripped the wrapping off and carefully lifted it onto the wall hanging mount. Misato gave it a curious but not that fussed look then did a double take, her mouth slowly opening in shock
Then she literally fell to the floor, almost crushing a surprised penguin that scuttled out of the way, laughing so hard she looked to be having trouble breathing as she flailed about on the floor.
Asuka now more then a little intrigued walked out of the kitchen and around, glancing down at the helplessly cackling Misato before looking up at the slightly sheepish Shinji, then at the picture and feeling her breath freeze in her lungs.
Staring back at her was Gendo Ikari.
The picture had to be a real photograph, but it captured the essence of the man Asuka had never met, but seen pictures of and heard much from other NERV personnel and Shinji himself. She could instantly see the resemblance to his Son and vice versa, but utterly alien to any look she had seen on Shinjis face was the expression of utter disdain and contempt, the desire to control and dominate burning in from behind the tinted glasses.
One of his hands in the picture held a mate black gun.
The other, an utterly adorable white kitten, which the gun was pointed at.
PILOT THE EVANGELION! The main caption said in harsh, angular kanji.
Or the kitten gets it a smaller and much gentler subtext kanji added.
