031. Animal
Touji could always feel the presence buried in Unit-One, like a caged and restrained animal pulling at its leash every time he synched with it and fought against the Angels, the combat satiating the beast within until the next time he was inside the Entryplug.

032. Jagged
Asuka knew she was nearing her end, her soul felt jagged and frayed since Touji was pulled into Unit-One and if she couldn't get him back it was only a matter of time until her core -tied as it was to him- began to fail and her life ended, so she stood as defiant as ever before the wrapped visage of the EVA that held the one human she loved with her whole being, determined to get him back.

033. Strange
It was strange, Touji would admit, being married to one of the surviving Angels, but he wouldn't trade a single thing about Asuka for anything in the world.

034. Measure
Afterwords, Touji found he could freely laugh about his first attempt at cooking, knowing how lost he must have looked to Asuka while she spied on him as he struggled with the measurements and ingredients to make one of her favorite German-style breakfast meals.

035. Ashes
Touji watched the depths of the volcano as ash fell on his EVA, fighting a slowly building sense of panic the longer Asuka was in its hold searching for the dormant Angel hidden within.

036. Leave
When her request for leave was approved Asuka almost couldn't contain her excitement, completing what paperwork she had left and heading straight home to surprise Touji and start packing for their week at Okinawa; a trip she'd wanted to take since back during the Angel War.

037. Fit
Sometimes Asuka wondered if she was truly capable of being a mother, and until she held her baby girl in her arms and felt the overwhelming joy just from the sight of such a tiny face she worried and cried on Touji's shoulder, but now she felt certain that she could raise her children -and she knew they'd have more- in a better world than she was raised in.

038. Elusive
Until he met Asuka, and it was a memorable meeting, Touji felt like finding love like his parents obviously had -from all the pictures of them he'd seen- would be a search he might never finish.

039. Painstaking
Asuka watched as Touji took painstaking care in shaping the cradle for their second child, and she didn't think she'd ever felt more proud of him, especially after having watched him work after class in the local college's woodshop for the last few months.

040. Unfold
They could feel all of Instrumentality stretch out before them, infinite possibilities leading to both Love and Loss, what felt like all of reality unfolding before them as the energies of Third Impact reached a shining crescendo and they made their choice together.

A/N: These actually flowed relatively easily, once I'd started, taking me about an hour and a half to complete.

Only one more set to go, dear readers!
