Shinji stood at a distance. He knew the range of Rei's line of sight as well as instincts. How could he not?

Indeed. He's been by her side 24/7 and without her knowing. He was designed to be her handler, as well as the gun who'll stop her if Commander Ikari gives the order.

Rei/Alice took a glance at Shinji's direction, then she changed back to the original Rei.

Class 1-A


M sat at her table. She's a little dazed; but she doesn't remember. Rei stood in front of her, wondering if she's going to get chewed.

'I have this feeling that we were talking about something.' says M as she twinkles her nose.

'I didn't do anything wrong.' says Rei as she clutches her backpack.

'I'm not going to hurt you, you know.' says M. She felt like bursting into laughter.

Rei relaxed. 'It is silly. I mean, I don't even know why I'm here right now. Deja vu?

Bells started to ring.

Ding dong.

'The school's about to close.' says M.

'Am I excused?' asks Rei.

'Yes young lady.' M gives her a wink.

'Ma'am.' replies Rei.


School Gate


Rei is looking at the school gate. Many students passed by. Most of them are strangers to her.

'Rei.'

'Shinji.'

Shinji was silent. He didn't talk much; he's more of an I do or I don't guy.

He reached for her bag pack which Rei gladly let go. Shinji carried it on his shoulders.
