Chapter 1

...A vast sea of blood surrounded me. I lied on the smooth sand, staring up into the starry night sky....

...I was finally alone....

...The grainy earth ran through my fingers as I lifted my hands, now staring at my palms....

...Pain. That’s all these hands have inflicted. I got up, brushing the sand off of my shorts....

...It’s caused all of this pain to others and the angels, yet it gave others the ability to love me....

...I now faced the despair of the red ocean before me. The water refracted the souls of those...

...lost, scurrying around within it; with not a single sense of direction. An aquatic mass created for...

...the capture of the human race....

...Is this really what I created?...

...I needed to stop worrying and settle my mind down. The ruckus and chaos is gone, so...

...there’s no point in dreading. No more burden, no more abiding by other’s expectations, and...

...goodbye to my sorrow. I finally have gotten everyone to accept me. That’s all I’ve ever wanted....

...After all, It’s not hard for everyone to accept me if that everyone only consists of “me”....

...“I'm truly satisfied.” The quietness of the world lifted my spirits, allowing me to grin...

...slightly. In an instant, I felt chilly. My feet dug into the sand below, receiving its warmth to assist...

...me. It didn’t provide much....

...The temperature of the world was reflecting Shinji’s current state of heart....

...“Your sick, Idiot Shinji.” These words murmured from near; I started seeking their...

...location. “How disgusting.” Spat the mouth of them again. At that moment, I found them with...

...ease....

...These words wrapped around me, dragging me down to the person below. This felt so...

...familiar, and so did the sound of the person's voice who produced them....

...“Ugh.” I was now on top of her. I couldn’t control myself or what actions I was about to...

...partake in. I can ensure one thing though, and that was that my body didn’t like those words very...

...much....

...My hands instantly went for her throat, closing off her airway. “Disgusting, huh?” My...

...grip stood firmly. “You wouldn’t understand how hard it was to put up with all that stress of...

...piloting Unit One.” My voice grew strong, and that girl's name suddenly returned itself to my...

...mind. “You especially! You never even took the time to understand me, Asuka!”...

...I tried with all my might to extract her remaining life force. This was the final step I had...

...to take to relieve myself from all the grief that I stored within me....

...“What did you say about me, Idiot Shinji?”...

...These words began to echo through my head. Who was this talking to me? What did they...

...mean? My brain was scrambled. “Stop…” They began to spiral around me, consuming the...

...remains of the world that I had destroyed....

...Stop. Stop. Stop...

...Chapter 1 End...
