this chapter is entirely from misatos perspective.
Misato had been broken. She just couldn't do anything anymore ever since Shinji had been absorbed into his eva. She never bothered to leave the apartment except to fuck Kaji(her old college boyfriend) and even then when she came back home there was no one waiting for her. No one to greet her, to cook for, to take care of her when she got drunk. And Kaji only wanted her as a whore. Just something that he can fuck and throw away. Shinji never did that(granted she had never had sex with Shinji) he never threw her away one moment just so he could say he loved her the next. She had Shinji, really he was the only thing she had...control over. But Shinji was gone. He had been for two weeks. If anyone visited her it would've have been obvious from dishes and trash that was littered all over the apartment. The only place that was clean was Shinji's bedroom. So that's where she slept. She would get drunk and play his SDAT just so that she could sleep. When she ran out of clothes she looked through his dresser and wore some of his clothes.'He would understand why I needed to'.She thought to reassure herself.
On the 15th day that Shinji had been gone, she got a letter saying that she would be evicted from her apartment if she did not appear at work tomorrow(her apartment was owned by NERV). She groaned at the envelope and was about to throw it into the trash when a thought raced her head.'Where will Shinji and I stay when he comes back'.With that one thought, she found a reason to move on. She was going to go to work tomorrow so that she and Shinji would continue to live together once he got back. She then looked back through her apartment.'Shinji will clean this up'.
The next day:
She was walking through the(still confusing in her opinion)halls of the geo-front down to the command center. Upon entering she found Ritsuko and some techs looking(as always) at some computers and she looked through the glass pane at the front of the command center and what she saw made her blood boil. Right through the glass was eva unit 01, the thing that stole her Shinji away from her. She failed to notice in her growing rage the small pool of techs(mostly male) forming around her welcoming her back, but her attention was snapped back into reality when Ritsuko playfully grabbed onto her shoulder and said: "down girl"." huh what, oh, sorry"."It's okay we just don't need you glaring at our newest friend".'Friend my ass that thing fucking stole Shinji'.The teasing as they walked through the command and over to what they were doing on the computers."The reason we called you in today was that we think that we've found a way to get Shinji out there". "How", she answered barely even processing what just had been said." Well aren't you an eager beaver, haha don't worry its understandable"."Just tell me already Rits"."Okay okay, we think we've found a way to get him back through the ejection plug but it's going to be a week or two before we can pull it off"."Great, well what can I do to help...that is why you called me in here right?"Well really you just being here just helps with moral...mostly the male but that's obvious ain't it. Now if there was one thing that Ritsuko knew about Misato its that she loves flaunting and showing off her body so that's why it came as such a surprise when her answer to that was."Huh...of course, it is", she answered almost bitterly.'They only see my body unlike Shinji who gets my body and who I am', she thought to herself at first bitter but getting giddy at the thought of Shinji and him coming back."Welllllll... anyways...", Ritsuko trailed off genuinely at a loss and still recovering from Misatos unexpected answer to her tease."I guess we should show what we got so far", Ritsuko answered finally recovering somewhat from Misato. She then showed her friend what they got so far.
important author message: okay I know the ending was really abrupt but I need to think and make sure of what I'm going to do with my story and for that... I'm going to need some days to think through my story. As a makeup, I'm going to make the next chapter quite a bit longer so see you then
