So, ummmmm hi again? For those who know me, at least.

Those who don't, hi I'm Sarkhan. This is something that came into my head this morning [25.09.18].

Prolog

Shinji was sitting above Asuka, his hands squeezing her throat. Around him, red waves of LCL were breaking on the shore, and in the distance the composing giant head of a blue haired girl was breaking in two. Giant white creatures, each posturing as a cross, were sitting not far from the beach, in the sea.

He felt terrible. Everyone was dead, Misato, Rei, Kaworu. Asuka had abandoned him. The one person he had hoped would help him had rejected him. He had begged, begged her to not abandon him. And yet, she only answered with no.

As he stared down at the girl he could've called his equal, he could see her blue eyes void of emotion. Empty, cold. The life in her eyes was gone, the spirit she always showed. 'This isn't Asuka' he thought. 'Asuka was full of life. You're just a… puppet. An empty vessel.'

He squeezed harder, her throat was giving in slowly.

Then, the redhead in a surprising display of strength, lifted her arm. Slowly her bandaged hand rose to rest on Shinji's hand. He could feel the rough cotton on his skin.

Her hand cupped his cheek, gently caressing it, before descending again. With a slight thud the arm fell to the ground, it's owner exhausted from that little display of strength. Her blue eyes weren't yet refilled with emotions. But she still seemed so… lifeless.

Above her, Shinji began to weep. Hot, salty tears began to leak from his eyes, ran down his face, and fell on the chest of the young girl. His hands had left her throat, and now were formed into fists above her chest.

He wept for what felt like hours, his head aching from dehydration, as Asuka finally said something. A simple sentence, that changed almost everything. Her voice was almost entirely void of emotion, of life. But there still was something.

"Who are you?"

So, yeah. The basic premise is that together with her eye being damaged, so was her memory. She doesn't remember Shinji or the 3rd Impact. Not sure how far back I'll go if I continue this.

Bye, Sarkhan
