Day 4: Ice / Fire
Rei was like ice.
She didn't try to be that way. She just didn't know how she was supposed to act, or how to feel anything the way that normal people did. She was cold, and in her own way, hard and brittle. Like a frozen lake, you could only vaguely see what was happening below the surface. Even she didn't know how deep the water was underneath.
But Asuka was like fire.
She erupted with anger, unsure how else to handle the sea of burning magma inside of her. She scorched anyone who came too close. She blazed with desire, for glory and for love. She threw herself at Mr. Kaji, at Shinji, begging someone with a cooler temperament to help calm her down. Something about her was insubstantial, impossible to touch.
Neither girl was really happy. They each just wanted to be warm.
