A/N: Basically an extended ending to the End of Evangelion's, 'One More Final: I Need You'. I tried to keep all the specific details the same, but there will probably be a few inconsistencies, as it has been a while since I've watched the movie.


Shinji awoke to an engulfing darkness. His body was aching, but he didn't see any physical wounds. He was plagued with an all-too-familiar migraine. He finally took a moment to take in his surroundings.

'I don't know this ceiling...'

The unfamiliar room was empty, except for the few blankets wrapped around him and a plug suit, which lay in the corner, where the wall was damaged, letting in a reddish light. He saw a faint flickering fire growing and dying through the doorway. He sat up and tried to collect his thoughts and understand why he was here, in this place. He sat motionlessly as the silence engulfed him. He was unsettled by how quiet it was, as he half-expected to hear the droning of cicadas coming from outside, or even the crackling of the fire. He naturally reached for his S-DAT player in his pocket only to realize he was sitting there bare, and he looked over again at the plug suit lying in the corner.
'I was last in Unit-01? But what happened, and why am I here?'
He tried again to recollect the events that occurred before he found himself here. All he could recall was a voice...it haunted him, criticized him, warned him, begged him, confessed to him...
It was Asuka's.
"Kimochi warui..."*
His eyes widened as he started remembering more...
He remembered the burning hot coffee, the table and chairs knocked over, the feeling of his fingers digging in, and the suffocated figure he raised before him...
The therapeutic feeling as he squeezed the last life out of her.
Breaking out of his spell, he noticed the plug suit was in fact red, not white nor belonging to him.
'I wasn't wearing my plug suit...That means Asuka is...'
He got up from his rest with new purpose, and slowly made his way to the plug suit in the corner. He lifted and examined it, only to notice his clothes laying there underneath. He felt it best to get dressed. After he finished, he stood there pondering what he would find through the doorway. Oddly enough, he caught himself chanting his idiosyncratic mantra to himself...
'I mustn't run away...I mustn't run away...'
His only thought now was Asuka. The last he could remember was himself shamefully crying over her weak figure, with his hands in a loosening grip around her throat.
"Kimochi warui..."
His thoughts wandered off again when he found himself standing in the doorway. He was entering another blank canvas room, slightly larger, and what seemed to be the common room of this dwelling. Except, a window caught his eye. As he took one more cautionary glance along the room, he finally saw it.

It was a horrific sight...

The flickering firelight danced on and off the anomaly situated by it. The figure of a girl, hunched over, almost lifeless, with her eyes gazing deep into the red flames, the same that made up her hair. Shinji stood there, stunned. He tried to decipher what the visage of the girl before him held. It was a look foreign to her, as he was foreign to her. Her face displayed too many emotions at once, something Shinji thought impossible. Her face held fear, sorrow, loneliness, despair, pain, bashfulness, pity, guilt, innocence...

Her face held death...


A/N: "Kimochi warui." Ah yes, the final line of dialogue as delivered by Asuka in the film, really sends shivers down your spine. I left it untranslated because it's pretty open-ended when translated. A lot of debate and speculation also come with it, so not going to bother defining it, but to give a general idea, it means, "I feel sick," or "I feel terrible." It really has a heavy meaning when it comes with all the previous context. Honestly, the End of Evangelion from start to finish was crazy! But, nonetheless, I loved it, and it is easily my number one favorite release when it comes to philosophy on human nature. I find it to be a sad but true testament to mankind and all it's faults. Don't forget the terminal depression that follows after watching the movie! LOL Anyways, back to the story. Also, hopefully my tense isn't all messed up. Tell me how bad it is. Also probably overused 'fancy' words so it might sound a bit atrocious. Anyways, please R&R. I'll try to update this soon.
