Accompaniment

Welcome Back to the 2nd instalment of NGE.

Shinji eventually plucked up the courage to break the news to the other members of the team about the song in his head.

"Really? You too? I've been hearing them around the clock… It bugged me at first, but since I couldn't get rid of it.. I learned to enjoy it.. Its somewhat hypnotic you know… Ugh but sometimes.. it gets so boring it makes me want to scream, and rip my hair out. It's all your Freakin' Fault Shinji!!"

Rei, who didn't intercept any psychic residue springing to Shinji's defence, simply "…".

It was time to put forth the idea he had. He gulped, and asked. "Maybe it wants us to… sorta… sing along."

Asuka snorted, ''What is this? Nursery Playground?' Lets sing along! The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round, all in the town…'' She hummed sarcastically.

Rei looked worried for the first time in weeks. 'I think you two should tell Misato-san' the angel's brainwaves might be interfering with yours. It might contaminate the…'

Asuka cut her off angrily. "Is that all you care about? Contaminating the gunk we have to immerse in?"

Asuka chimed in quickly, recognising what he was going on about.. 'Yeah. You mean the part where its like diahorrea.. Hmm I think my part is like.. 'Electric' Passacaglia

Its like telling me, 'Shinji's dead, shock him alive or something' --

"I'll fill in the blanks with the harpsicord.. Even though I can't hear the Melody firsthand…" She chimes in sadly.

So they played. And Her voice sang.
