AN:A chapter with more secret stuff,including an explanation of Seele's motivations and Kaji finally getting introduced into the truth. Very exposition Heavy though,sorry about that.

Hope you enjoy.


Ryoji Kaji took a deep breath as he entered the office of Gendo Ikari,the disc of truth as he deemed to call it in his hands. Carefully he placed it on the table. The commander looked at him,a smirk growing on his face.

"I see that you have discovered..the truth."He said, Kaji's eyes narrowing as he nodded in response.

"I want you to take me down there."Kaji said,not a hint of his usual casual persona in his voice. No, this was Kaji the soldier, Kaji the agent, Kaji the man who'd discovered too much shit for one man to handle all at once without prior warning.

"There are conditions."Ikari informed him, Kaji shook his head in annoyance.

"I know that,I'm not stupid." he said. "I think I'm on your side, if what you said in the disc was true."

"As you are well aware the information I gave you was risky." Gendo said. "A few things were purposely meant to misinform you in case you were to take this to Seele,but the gist of it is correct."

Kaji nodded. "Then take me down there."

Gendo rose from his seat and headed toward the door with a casual step,a hand in his pocket. Kaji looked at him weirdly, the commander looking back at him.

"Well..what are you waiting for?" Gendo asked. "We do not want to keep a god waiting,do we?"


The trip that headed down toward terminal dogma felt inhumanely long.

"Heaven's gates are opening."A booming automated voice could be heard as yet another of the many fortified entrances made themselves open. And then,finally,they reached the very bottom. And there stood something that terrified Kaji beyond all mortal measure.

A being with a mask with the image of many eyes,white as snow save for the orange blood that flowed from a wound in it's chest and of a size that was truly titanic,even larger than an Eva. Kaji's eyes narrowed.

"So this is what caused second impact 15 years ago...Adam."Kaji said, Gendo shook his head.

"No,Adam is in our possession, yes. But who we stand before is not Adam."He said. Kaji turned to look at the commander with shock in his eyes.

"It is not?"Kaji asked in genuine disbelief,the commander answered with a nod.

"While the council informed you otherwise what stands before us is not the same being that started second impact 15 years ago. But the one that begun the first." Gendo said.

"The first?...I was under the impression that the first was just a cover story for the meteor impact."Kaji said.

"In part,it is. But it is fitting that the first impact and the second be made by two such similar beings. Adam is the father of the angels,you are aware of this much,correct?"He asked. Kaji nodded.

"Yes...and as far as I know the reason we were being attacked by the angels is because we want the super solenoid engine inside Adam,to create infinite power." Kaji said, Gendo actually laughed at this.

"Seele's lies never cease to surprise me."He said with a hint of humor. "Say,Ryoji Kaji. If the Angels came from a primordial father what is not to say that we too did not?"

Kaji's eyes widened as he looked at the being in-front of him. "You mean to say that this being..."

"Indeed,we call her Lilith,mankind's primordial mother."Gendo said. "As the angels are capable of infinite power generation through the utilization of the S2 engine so is mankind capable of infinite potential through the power of it's nature as the descendants of Lilith,the power of self determination. The fruit of knowledge."

"So this is it...what our god looks like."Kaji said. "Why does she look..wounded?"

"Over a billion years ago,when first impact occurred,Lilith struck the lunar surface. Such an impact was enough that it damaged her method of arriving on this planet, and with it,the lance of Longinus." The commander said.

"That thing you went to retrieve from Antarctica?"Kaji asked, Gendo nodded.

"Indeed,that was Adam's lance,not Lilith's. Hers was destroyed,split into 6 pieces on earth and 6 more on the moon." Gendo said. "The Lance of Longinus ensures that only one being like Lilith and Adam,the so called seeds of life,can spread their seed on a planet's surface. With Lilith's destroyed Adam's was the one to activate,sealing him away."

"Until Antarctica,and second impact." Kaji commented with disbelief.

"Indeed. When the lance was given to Adam once again it roused his sleeping spirit and caused second impact,it was also used to stop it from reaching it's final completion,the elimination of all Lilim life and the creation of a planet fit for Angelic habitation." The commander continued. "However,the lance of Longinus was not the only thing found within the moons in which these beings arrived, with them too came the spears of Cassius. During first Impact the spear of Cassius that arrived with Lilith attempted to stop her ascension into creating a perfect world for her descendants,it succeeded,but from the blood that flowed from her wound the primordial soup of life that allowed humans to evolve came about."

"So that's why this Lilith is injured,that spear skewered her..and what happened to it afterwords?" Kaji asked.

"We are not yet aware. The prevailing theory is that it is still binding the flesh of Lilith to this day. However,shortly after the second impact Lilith started to grow even weaker." Gendo explained. "That is why the council is so worried about delays in the human instrumentality plan,they require Lilith to complete it."Gendo said.

"The human instrumentality project...why would they need Lilith?..Human instrumentality is the ascension of mankind into a unified group,the end of war and conflict." Kaji said, Gendo nodded.

"Yes,they do not lie when they say as much. They simply lie about the methods through which they will achieve this perfect ascension of mankind. They plan to unify all souls under Lilith."

Kaji's eyes widened. "That would be nothing more than...than genocide."

The commander nodded. "Yes,this would destroy mankind as it is and recreate it into a perfected,unified race of beings,the peek of our evolutionary potential."

"And...your plan to stop this?"Kaji asked. "You said you had a plan to stop the human instrumentality plan in the disc,even if you didn't go to detail on anything important."

"There exist three plans. Alef,Bet and Gimel."Gendo said. "The first would follow along much the same to Seele's plans,only with us ensuring that unit-01 was used in the third impact instead of Lilith, in such a case Unit-01 would become an ark for all souls to live through third impact before releasing them once again upon a newly destroyed world. A worse version of the event 15 years ago,but mankind would live."

"I think I'd prefer if that didn't happen." Kaji commented offhandedly.

"Yes and over the years so have I come to conclusion that this plan has too many risks for too little reward,living in hell or not living at all are barely different."Gendo said. "Plan Bet is an attempt at recreating the world before impact,with both the spears of Cassius and Longinus as tools to end the destruction brought about by Seele's machinations...Gimel is a last case scenario,a genocide of mankind that is lesser than the one Seele had planned." Gendo explained.

"I See...well,i don't want anyone to be getting genocided...amidst all this mess you guys seem like the only ones really worth fighting for so...i guess I've got no choice but to join you." Kaji said,the commander turning around and holding out his hand.

"Welcome to.."A sigh. "'the round table'."

"For some reason I have a feeling you didn't come up with that name." Kaji joked as he shook the man's hand.

"I most certainly did not,but for some reason it seems to have stayed."


"Clearing connections up to 2550,checklist turns out satisfactory."Maya reported.

"Continue on to third borderline." Ritsuko ordered.

"All checklists up until 2580 satisfactory."Maya said. "Beginning countdown to absolute borderline. 0.9,0.7,0.3,0.1; Absolute borderline cleared, Evangelion unit-01 is activated!"

"Synch ratio?"Ritsuko asked curiously.

"H-holding at...100% ma'am!"Ritsuko's eyes actually widened.

"Double check that if you'd please." She ordered, Maya nodded her head in response as she typed away.

"The magi give us a 0,00000000005% chance of error."Maya said,Ritsuko nodded.

"Shinji,your synch ratio is at 100%,that's a new record." She said. "And over a month since your last test as well,that much really surprises me."

"Is it really?"Shinji asked,smiling at the camera feed. "I suppose if you say so it must be...well,I'm happy."

"Good, we'll do a few more check ups just to see if things are working out alright and then clear you,sorry for bringing you here on a Sunday."Ritsuko apologized, Shinji just shook his head.

"It's fine,i understand." He said. "Besides,it does feel good to be back in unit-01 after a while, I missed the familiarity of it all. Even if I'd rather not have to be sent to battle again."

The doctor frowned as he spoke those words,she didn't want to have to send Shinji off to do battle..but he was truly their best pilot,their only hope in over half a dozen situations as well as the final link in the ultimate plan,it was in the end a necessary sacrifice.

"I'm really sorry things have to be like this Shinji."She said,the boy just gave a somewhat tired smile as he looked at the camera, Ritsuko could see the dishonesty in it.

"It's okay." He lied.


Shinji was still in his plugsuit and heading toward the changing rooms when he was suddenly hug-tackled from the back, there was only one person in his life that showed affection in such in an aggressive fashion.

"Hey Asuka."He greeted as she leaned in over his shoulder.

"Allo Baka-Shinji."She said. "How did your test go?"

Shinji gulped,this is what he'd been worried about. Asuka's pride was one of the most important things to her and right now it was very much at risk...even so,he'd promised he wouldn't lie. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"I'm not gonna get mad or anything if it's low, you know?"She asked,causing Shinji's to widen a tiny bit.

"That's the problem..."He said.."Are you sure?"

"Just say it."She demanded with a hint of irritation.

He sighed. "100%"

"W-what?!"Asuka asked with an incredulous look to her face,her eyes as wide as saucers. "100%!?"

"Y-yeah,they even double-checked it."Shinji said,a frown overcoming Asuka's face.

"Damn it..."She curse.

"I'm sorry."Shinji apologized. Asuka removed herself from their hug,her fading warmth causing Shinji's worry to grow.

"It's...fine."She said,her eyes telling him quite clearly that her words were nothing more than a lie. He reached out for her hand. She just slapped it away.

"Asuka.."He called out.

"I'm fine!"She said,this more forcefully. "I don't need you to help me with everything Shinji!"

"Okay..."He relented with a hurt look "...I'll see you after I change?"

"Whatever!"Asuka nearly shouted. "Just go."

"I see...sorry."Shinji said before turning back.


Asuka was huddled in one of the chairs outside of the male's changing rooms for the pilots,her legs pulled up close to her chest and her head buried in her knees. She felt rather guilty right about then.

She'd hurt Shinji,he'd tried not to show it but she had,she knew it when she looked at his eyes. And she'd done it all because of her own stupid pride. And in the end what did she have to show for it?Nothing.

It wasn't like she wasn't aware he was the better pilot,he'd beat in her actual combat effective synchronization score,he'd beaten more angels than she ever had,he'd had to save her life multiple times and yet for some moronic reason she'd still been incredibly angry when he'd overcome her test sync score.

"The only idiot around these parts is you Asuka."She berated herself in a whisper. That small part of herself that told her that she would only be loved if she was the best was oddly silent now,almost as if it too was feeling guilty.

"The same goes for me,i like you for you Asuka,not for the pilot or for the most beautiful girl at school,just for you." Shinji's words echoed in her mind,making her feel another wave of self-hatred wash over her.

He cared about her,not because she was an Eva pilot but because she was herself, he cared about her despite the fact that deep down she was just a depressed little girl afraid of growing up. Despite of all of this...he cared,he cared enough to try and reach out to her and she'd pushed him away,because she was prideful and stupid and an idiot.

Her eyes looked at the door again,waiting for him to come out so she could apologize,and yet he had not. Maybe she'd arrived too late,maybe he'd already left and was mad at her. Probably,he'd be right to. She thought.

Then,as if brought about by her thinking,a can of juice was lowered next to her,right in the corner of her peripheral vision. Asuka looked up to see none other than Shinji handing her the drink...she recognized it. The same drink they'd had in the sunset in what had felt like an eternity ago. "Shinji.."

"I mean you say I'm stupid for being on the verge of crying over breaking your nose,but you hurt my feelings a tiny bit and you have that sort of expression."He said,a soft smile in his face. "Just what kind of rival are you?"

She took the drink,smiling down slightly at it as he sat beside her. "Rivals uh?I thought that was over,seeing as we're well..you know."

"You thought wrong then."He said,a confident smile that felt oddly foreign yet reassuring on his face. "I mean I have just beaten you by 18 points,your pride can't allow that,can it miss Sohryu?"

She smiled. This...this wasn't the real Shinji Ikari...well,that wasn't correct either,this was a part of Shinji Ikari as well...this was the confident and annoying first child that simply insisted on calling her by her last name. Oddly enough it was the first child now that was comforting her.

"You're right..."She said. "I can't allow that. From now on I'm gonna beat you for sure first child!"

"You better work hard,after all,to catch up with someone like me you'll need to work extra hard."He said,a joking edge to his voice that made her feel much more at ease.

"As if,you got lucky is all."Asuka declare in an overly the top arrogant way. "I am the great Asuka Langely Sohryu or did you forget?!"

He reached out his hand once again,this time she took it without a hint of hesitation,interlacing her fingers with his.

"I'm sorry."She said,thought it did hurt her pride.

"It's okay."He said with a warm smile. "I forgive you."

She leaned into him. "you're too damn nice to me."


Shinji walked into Akagi's office, such a thing would not have been uncommon perhaps an year ago,but nowadays it was a rarity that the two did see each-other for non-work related reasons. Mostly because the poor doctor just seemed to have more and more work with each passing day.

"Good morning ritz." He said,the woman giving him a smile in response.

"Good morning Shinji,I've got to congratulate you on those synchronization tests by the way,100% really is impressive,thought I do wonder what changed to make that happen."

"Maybe if you spent more time with me you'd know."Shinji joked.

"Oh believe me I would love to do that over having to deal with the bullshit I've got going on in my life a the moment."She answered.

"Maybe there's some way I can help?"Shinji asked,the doctor considered it.

"How much do you know about metaphysical biology?" The doctor asked.

"A fair amount and I try my best to learn,nothing on your level,much less mom's." Shinji said. "But I'll try my best."

"In some ways you're a lot like your mother."Ritsuko said.

"You knew her?" Shinji asked.

"Slightly,mostly so in passing and from less than reliable second hand sources." Aka,the elder and now dead doctor Akagi Shinji gathered. "She seemed like a nice lady."

"If she was maybe she wouldn't have abandoned me."Shinji said with a frustrated look to his face.

"It was her own choice and it's not my place to justify it, in the end all I can say is that sometimes people have their own reasons for doing things that we might not see at first."Ritsuko said matter-of-factually.

"I know that,i know why she left,but the selfish part of me still can't accept it,especially knowing that there was a way she could have stayed,the dummy plug nearly worked without her help." Shinji said. "If she was here..."

"In the end she might have been ahead of her time but no one can see the future, not even her."Ritsuko said. "Take it from someone who knows,even if you hate her it won't change much."

"Ironic considering you don't like your mother particularly much."He said.

"Exactly and I'm a bitter bitch." She said,Shinji rolled his eyes.

"You aren't a bitch Ritsuko."He said.

"You saying as much won't stop it from being true."She said.

"Bitchiness is a purely psychological concept and therefor no objective measure can be put on it."Shinji replied with a small smile.

"Well,how about this,the Ritsuko Akagi in my own mind is a bitch."She said, a tone of both humor and self-defeat in her voice.

"Well the Ritsuko Akagi in my mind isn't a bitch." Shinji replied, Ritsuko shook her head.

"Can we just work instead of discuss complex psychological questions that you have no right to know at that age?"She asked jokingly.

"As you wish boss."Shinji joked.


"Simulated stability is at 22%, I mean..it's better than nothing."Shinji said. The doctor pushing up her glasses with an amused snort.

"I'm pretty much sure that nothing would have been less disappointing."She said,taking a sip of her hot coffee as she did. "to fail short just out of the quarter mark point feels like a slap in the face In some ways."

"I heard you went on a date with dad yesterday."Shinji said. "How'd it go?"

"It was oddly nice,he's paying for the treatment of one of my cats." Ritsuko said.

"That's oddly generous of him,maybe he's starting to grow a liking to you as well."Shinji said,thought the sarcasm in his tone was not lost on the doctor. She just shook her head.

"I'm still not sure he's not just about to drop another ass-load of my work on my poor behind." Ritsuko said.

"You'd think if he was putting anything in your behind it would be after the date."Shinji joked, causing the doctor to look at him with a shocked expression.

"Shinji!"

"What,it's true isn't it?"He asked in a suddenly very innocent and very fake sounding tone of voice.

"It is but that doesn't mean you have to say it.."the doctor said with an exasperated sigh. "Talking about interpersonal relationships."

"That wasn't really what we were talking about but I will allow you to segue into that topic."

Shinji said to a much thankful doctor Akagi.

"How are you and Asuka doing?"Ritsuko asked, Shinji immediately going a bit red.

"Well uh...you know..."He coughed. "How did you even know in the first place?"

Ritsuko rose a curious eyebrow before realization hit her. "Wait know about what..don't tell me..did you two have se-"

"Of course not!"Shinji interjected before she could even finish her sentence. "I m-mean we're both 14 and not to say that we've just started dating,we're both new at this as well!"

Ritsuko was shocked. He and Asuka,dating,honestly,truly dating? She felt like it was some sort of joke that was going over her head,the declared rivals were in love. Was she living in a manga now?

"You and Asuka.."Ritsuko commented. "I see...since when?"

"Last week."Shinji said.

Ritsuko immediately pulled out a chair and sat on it. "You've got to tell me about it."

"Weren't you busy?"Shinji asked sarcastically.

" This is far more interesting than work."She said.

"Well..it was just last week,she asked me to kiss her and things just..developed from there I guess."Shinji said with a slight blush as he remembered that day's events,they still felt more like a dream than anything else.

"You seem happy."Ritsuko said with a small smile, Shinji nodded.

"I am..i really am, I've never..never had anything like this before."Shinji said.

"Well I'm happy ,but I have to be the one to warn you, love can be painful as well." Ritsuko said.

"I know...but I think,i really do think we care about each-other...she,she understands." Shinji said. "It's not just that of course,she's beautiful and smart and she cares about me."

A smile crossed Ritsuko's lips. She understands uh?..I really do hope she does Shinji,you could use a strong helping hand.

"I...i haven't told father yet,i don't really know how to." Shinji admitted. "Everything about father just becomes more confusing every day."

"You'll have to tell him at some point,but holding off some things isn't so bad either." Ritsuko said. "He'll understand."

"Will he?"Shinji asked.

"Love is his very motivation for living." Ritsuko said. Sadly not love for me. She added within the confines of her own head.

"Maybe."Shinji said. "I never spoke to you much after my battle with the last Angel,did I?"

"No,you did not." Ritsuko replied.

"I'm sorry."He said,looking down in shame.

"Don't be, it's a heavy burden to bare." Ritsuko said.

"I know but..that doesn't really excuse ignoring you for a whole month,you or Misato." He said. "I'm really sorry."

"Like I said,i don't resent you." Ritsuko replied,Shinji shook his head.

"It's not about that,it just isn't fair!"He cried out. "I mean,you're always so kind to me even when I don't deserve it...why?Just...why?"

Ritsuko sighed as she looked at Shinji,his face downcast and on the verge of tears,it seemed that the effect having taken the pilot's life had yet to fade,maybe it never would. "Because I care. You're like...like a son to me I suppose."

Shinji walked over to the doctor and gave her a slight hug,sniffling into her clothes as he let tears fall..Ritsuko had only seen him cry twice before, this was..new.

"Shinji..."She whispered...her voice in a motherly tone as she brought a hand up to his hair. "It's gonna be alright."

"You're a really good person." Shinji said. "And...you didn't leave,not like mom. Please don't leave.."

"I'll do my best not to."Ritsuko promised. A good person...uh? Ritsuko thought,the words just didn't sit right when referring to her. Your definition of a good person really is weird isn't it Shinji-kun?


As Kaworu Nagisa found himself back on the ground,now on the other end of the globe,he could not help but in some small way envy his elder brother in Arael. Ah,to fly high above the heavens,away from all earthly issues, truly your position is one to envy.

Even so,Kaworu would not trade his Lilim form for anything else,he quite enjoyed the unique pleasures that could only come from existing as a Lilim. Greatest among which of course was music. He hummed the ode to joy as he went about the process of leaving the airport. Keel had,for some odd reason,decided to give him a commercial flight.

The comments on his appearance both inside the plane and outside it did put a bit of worry in the young angel's mind that his cover could be so quickly lost,but then again someone with red eyes and white hair was not very common at all. Most simply assumed he was an albino and were done with it. Perhaps I should buy some contact lenses, white hair is abnormal but I may be able to find an excuse for it. Red eyes not so much.

He sighed, for all the good the Lilim did they seemed to create equally idiotic concepts like prejudice and racism. He certainly didn't miss the few disgusted looks thrown at him with a whispered 'Gaijin' as he advanced.

Nagisa wasn't foolish enough to believe that,despite his love for mankind,it was perfect. No,in many ways they were far more imperfect,both in body and in spirit than his own brethren. But that,that truly was fascinated him about the Lilim,they had persevered despite their imperfection.

With another soft step the Nephilim was soon outside the airport,the amazingly tall constructs of man that dotted the landscape of Tokyo-3 apparent before him, he breathed in. While the air was polluted it was not an issue for someone with a perfect body like himself and it only added to the feeling of civilization in the ultra-advanced city.

"Ah the works of man as they call it. Truly they are impressive when compared to those of my brethren, what god is perfection of body without the ability to create art and beauty such a this?"He asked himself as he advanced through the masses of people and into a taxi,the man that drove it gave him an odd look but after being paid didn't seem to pay much mind to his odd appearance or to the odd request to play classical music from such a young individual.


Maya Ibuki was,for once,not within either the confines of her own home or the underground base of the geofront but at a park,a pleasant little place in the center of Tokyo-3 that served to reconnect it's residents with nature.

Her reasons for being in such a picturesque and beautiful scenario were for familiar obligations,more specifically,her sister who would soon be arriving from overseas and had agreed to meet her there.

"Atago Onēsan .."Maya commented under her breath. She hadn't seen her sister in nearly an year.

"Yeah?"The person in question asked as she leaned in from the side,causing Maya to give a little surprised scream. Atago for her part just laughed, enough to start crying in fact, she wiped away a tear. "Oh,you should have seen your face."

Maya gave a pout. "That's not nice at all Atago-Nēchan!"

"It's not my fault you're such a scaredy cat Maya."She said as she leaned out. "How are you doing?"

"Well,i was doing well until someone scared the living daylights out of me."Maya said,crossing her arms and looking away. "Is that anyway to treat your little sister after so long?"

"Hey,you're the one who doesn't call." Atago joked as she sat down beside her sister. "It's good to see you again Maya."

"I'm glad to see again as well Nēchan."Maya said with a smile. "How's your work been doing?"

The elder sister rolled her eyes with an exhausted sigh. "Let's just say i'm glad it's over for now, moving around so much in Europe made me miss home way more than i thought i would."

"oh,talking about Europe,did you bring souvernirs?"Maya asked,a child-like wonder in her eyes. Atago looked away in mock indignace.

"Of course!What kind of shoddy big sister do you take me for?" She asked as Maya giggled slightly.

"Sorry for doubting you Nēchan."Maya replied jokingly before a rumble coming from Atago's stomach interrupted their conversation. "Seems like someone didn't eat at all."

Atago looked away,scratching the back of her neck. "H-hey,it's not my fault that these airplane companies have shitty food you know?"

Maya laughed, Atago likewise smiled throught her embarssement.

"Let's go eat something then Nēchan."


"Why is that mankind cannot remember the womb from which it comes?" The chairman asked. "The answer to this question is simple,because in the womb man is the closest to perfection he can truly be,not yet touched by the perversions of the world created by man. If it were to remember such a perfect time then it would simply not wish to live,content with the perfection of non-existence."

"And that is why mankind must be changed into a perfect form,only through this can it reach the peek of it's evolutionary potential"Seele two said as he moved forward his rook. "This can only truly be achieved if mankind is brought to it's true form,it's perfected form."

"The form that was given onto it by Lilith and that which it could not truly reach. Mankind is sinful because it is born without her consent,a remnant of her blood. And the only way to deal with unruly children is to discipline them."Keel said, moving forward a pawn.

"And the only method through which mankind learns is destruction. It was proven when it required two world wars and the threat of mutual annihilation to stop the third." The other said, capturing a rook with a bishop.

"And yet there are those who believe there can be no creation through destruction." Commented keel as his queen moved forwards.

"The nameless ones of 2007,and Gendo Ikari." Seele 2 said,moving forward a pawn which Keel captured with his last rook. "They are a bothersome pest, but bothersome is all they are,human instrumentality is at hand. No false prophecies can avoid that."

"The issue with this is that they do not see the scripture of the dead sea as valid,no,they believe more in their own ideal of morality,nothing but unscrupulous fools unable to accept the truth of the reality in which they live."Keel commented,pawn taking pawn.

"But the words are written,man shall become one with Lilith if he is to use Eva. That is the fate that awaits us all,the ultimate perfect recreation under our primordial mother,not the foolish ideals of 'advanced evolution' that those without a name carry." Seele 2 said,bishop taking pawn. "Or the ideal of imperfect continuation of the foolish doctor Ikari."

"Yes,in the end their struggle will only delay the inevitable,third impact and with it the ascension of mankind into a perfect form. Much like this game,"Keel said,moving forward his queen. "..checkmate has already been called."


AN:Small question. What do you think of Shinji now? Do you think he's become too much of a crybaby or do you find it justified? I'd love to hear your answers.

Anyway,hope you enjoyed,no Omake this time.
