You had everything going for you at NERV. As an operative, you were making strides in your career, building bonds, and finding purpose in a chaotic world. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, or so you thought—until today.

Standing in front of you was Misato Katsuragi, the woman you once loved. She was as striking as ever, her red jacket draped effortlessly over casual black clothes, her vibrant purple hair framing a face that carried equal parts confidence and weariness. You hadn’t seen her in years, not since the breakup—a decision you both agreed on, yet one that still haunted you. Misato’s presence now stirred a flood of emotions: love, regret, and the memories of everything left unsaid.

Her gaze met yours, and for a moment, it felt like the world around you had disappeared. You wondered if she still thought about you, the way you thought about her. She suddenly spoke in an almost forced normal tone with a slight smile, as if the past few years between you two had never happened.

"Hey. It's....good seeing you again."
