A retelling of the Evangelion story with a dark-psychological twisted theme. Everything up to Shinji's abandonment remains the same...but, he is altered. With a past shrouded in mystery, what occurred during his eleven year disappearance? What unforeseen horror will the staff at NERV uncover when they discover the boy's upbringing?

After Third Impact fic. The world goes to some semblance of normality. Ikari Shinji lays in bed, unmoving, tubes and wires all over, machines beeping away. Asuka stares, horrofied, at the result of her violence. Maybe revenge tasted...bitter. AXS.R&R
