Shinji takes just the slightest different action when Asuka offers a kiss... and everything changes. Suddenly, they're no longer alone, and begin becoming stronger than they've ever been before. And from their new bond changes start to ripple out. The Angel War and the plans of SEELE and NERV will never be the same.

What comes after the fight? Love. at least for Asuna and Kazuto. But as time passes, more and more demons of their past appear, and enemies that only want to continue the dismay and destruction of the death game. This is a new life, whether good or bad, through the fire and the flames, they will prevail. (Spoiler alert for the Light Novels! KiritoxAsuna.)
