Day 15: Near-Death / Immortality Angst
Yui Ikari missed the days of fighting Angels. She missed the danger, the fear, the desperate hope that had come before the Third Impact.
And she missed Shinji, cradled inside of Unit-01, inside of her, his mind brushing up against her soul as they synced. She missed the relative calm that they had had during tests, but she also missed feeling his terror and pain and anger.
It was a strange thing to think about, but she had had a long, long time with nothing else to occupy her.
How long had it been? A thousand years? A thousand eons? How long had her son been dead? Was anyone still alive on Earth?
There was no point in wondering. All Yui could do was float there, reminiscing about the past.
