Two Years Prologue:

An ear splitting explosion could be heard as the family of four scrambled through the woods towards the shelters just beyond. The little girl dragged along by her mother couldn't keep up and fell, the pink cell phone she was holding rolled down the hill.

The older brother dashed back and retrieved the protesting girl's phone, as he was about to make his way back up, another loud explosion sounded knocking the boy off his feet. Shaking twice to clear the fog in his head, he sprinted to the top of the hill and gasped at the sight.

A crater of bare earth, various body parts of his family members were scattered all over. The boy opened his mouth as if to say something then closed it, eyes wandered to the sky where two machines were locked in combat. His gaze immediately focused on the blue winged one, angry red eyes went solid as if in a trance.

'It's him. He's the one who did this to my family!'

He didn't hear the frantic voice of the man yelling at him to run, nor did he feel himself being lifted and dragged to the shelters. His entire concentration was focused on the white gundam soaring in the sky, memorizing all its details.

'He'll pay...one day I'll avenge my family by killing this murderer!'

-----

Shinn Asuka curled up his legs, forehead rested on his trembling knees. Now that the initial shock and anger was gone, grief and loneliness took their place.

It was hectic inside the shelter; mothers frantically looking for their children, friends holding each other weeping, men discussing what might come next. Shinn could only sit in his corner, hands clutching Mayu's cell phone close to his heart. Even with all the commotion going on, this was the first time in his life he felt truly alone.

'What now?'

The question suddenly floated into his head.

Shinn burried his head deeper between his knees and sobbed quietly. How could his family be gone just like that?

'Mother...Father...Mayu...'

A sudden tap on his shouder made his head lift. Shinn found himself face to face with a grey-eyed boy around his own age, the scar on the stranger's left eye drew his immediate attention.

"You're crying." the stranger stated.

Embarrassed, Shinn hastily wiped his face and glared straight into the eyes of the other boy.

"Leave me alone, it's none of your business!" he snarled. Shinn had always been a strong minded person, losing his family was not an excuse for him to put up with this stranger's teasing.

Grey eyes looked thoughtfully at Shinn. After a moment he seem to had decided Shinn was harmless and settled wordlessly beside him.

Shinn kept his face stubbornly forward while curious eyes shifted to examine the new comer on his right. He was wearing a uniform of some kind that Shinn had never seen before, white dress pant and overcoat butttoned up leaving the top open for a puff of red ribbon. Long tan hair pulled back in a ridiculously lose ponytail. A tight smile took form on Shinn's lips; his sister liked her back hair simularly tied.

The stranger suddenly turned towards him, blank face slightly lit with amusement. Shinn snapped out of his reverie and returned the look with a glare.

"You're alone." it was more like a statement than a question to Shinn's ears. 'What the hell? I don't need to be told right in my face, isn't it obvious enough?'

As if he read Shinn's mind, the long haired boy said, "I'm telling you that because you haven't accepted it yet."

The fire from before once again filled Shinn's heart. He let out an angry cry and leapt at the boy beside him, hands pinned the other's shoulder to the wall.

"What do you know? My family was killed right in front of my face, how can you tell me to accept something like that? If only I hadn't ran down after Mayu's phone, kept on going like father said, we could have made it out in time! If only..."

Shinn's hands loosen its hold on the other as he broke out in tears, unable to keep the whirl wind of emotions at bay any longer.

Uncertain arms encircled around Shinn's shoulders, pulling him into an awkward hug. Shinn felt the arms around him tense and somthing which sounded like "Kazuki" breathed out of the other's mouth. A shaking of head above his own and the arms relaxed again. Too tired to put up with the facade anymore, Shinn allowed the other to comfort him. It was now that he lost everything that Shinn realized how much he missed being held. The stranger's hand begun to rub his head, and somewhere beyond his free running emotions, Shinn noted that the other was not used to doing this type of thing.

Finally the long-haired boy's calm, flat voice cut through the silence.

"Don't think 'what if'. They're dead and you're alive. I know it's harsh but that's the truth, you must accept it and move on."

Shinn gently pushed himself out of the embrace, lifted his eyes to meet the other's cloudy grey ones and scowled as best as he could, "It's my fault. I shouldn't even be allowed to exist."

A sad smile formed on the other's face. "Exactly alike." he whispered.

He quickly continued before Shinn got a chance to reply to that comment, "You are existing now. Even if it's sad, even if it's painful, you are here. There will always be people who are happy you're here. Your family for one wouldn't want you to go."

The boy turned to go, then as an afterthought he turned back around with a small smile and said, "I'm happy you are here. I'm glad I had this chance to talk to you."

Shinn never left his eyes from the boy until he dissappeared from sight into the crowd.

-----

After a few days, danger has left Orb and the shelters were opened again to let the residents back to their homes, or whatever was left of it.

Shinn sat on a pile of rubble near the shelters watching the remaining people file out. Finally the person he was waiting for shuffled out of the metal doors, hard grey eyes taking in the surroundings.

"Hey!" Shinn waved, running up to the long-haired boy. Said boy turrned, face soften in recognition.

"You're waiting for me?"

"A question and not a statement? And here I am thinking you were the god of stating the obvious."

The grey eyed boy's lips lifted slightly at the other's attempt at a joke. This was enough to satisfy Shinn as he had learnt from the short time together the other was not one for showing his emotions too freely.

"So uh...where are you headed to?" Shinn asked.

The other boy shrugged, eyes surveyed the area as if looking for a destination.

"I came here alone looking for something to help my friend back home. Not too long after, those machines started appearing and I was herded into the shelters with the other civilians." Another shrug. "I'm not sure where to go, I was only told that I'll find what I'm looking for here."

Shinn smiled, "You're alone. I'm alone. But alone wouldn't sound as bad with the two of us together."

Remembering his manners which his parents spent countless hours trying to pound into his head, Shinn raised his hand and said, "I'm Shinn Asuka, and you?"

The other boy shook his hand and replied, "My name is Soushi Minashiro."
