Writer's Notes:
This is the second part of my Eva-01 fic. Enjoy, and please review!
I don't own Eva-01, Ikari Yui, Ikari Shinji, or anything else from Evangelion. NGE is copyright Gainax. Don't
sue me.
Spoiler Note:
This fic will lead up to a spoiler of some important character introductions and
developments of the plot, so don't read it if you haven't seen Evangelion!
Legend: denotes unit 01's thoughts, [ ] denotes other voices in unit 01's mind that
"talk" (i.e. a la shinji dream scenes throughout the anime)

(pan across the left profile of Unit 01's face, as it rests in the pool of LCL)
What? Bred to fight?
[Yes.]
But why?
[Why do you ask when you already know the answer?]
I do?
[Yes.]
Remind me, please.
[It is unnecessary.]
(close-up on the front of Eva-01's face; the head seems to move ever so slightly to the
left, then stops)
...I find you difficult to talk to...
[I understand. It is natural to be confused.]
Please, help me...
[Alright. I will tell you all that you want to know...]

(waterdrop falls into a pond)
(all is dark and intangible)
[38 years ago, in the year 1977, a Japanese woman by the name of Ikari Yui was born.]
(an image of a young Yui is seen)
[In 1999, she was a graduate student at Kyoto University]
(Yui as a young adult, taking notes at a university lecture)
[Yui wrote a very interesting paper on biotechnology, attracting the attention of the
respected professor Fuyutsuki, who became quite enamored of her.]
(an image of Fuyutski, smiling, is seen)
[However, she fell in love with a fellow student named Rokubungi Gendo.]
(image of Gendo as a young adult is seen)
[Three years later, the two lovers married. Yui and Gendo soon worked together for a
research company known as SEELE. There, they produced the first prototypes of the General-
Purpose Humanoid Decisive Combat Weapon -- Artificial Human Evangelion; Evangelion for
short.]
(stills of orange Eva-00 inside of NERV, and Eva-01, in combat, are seen, then all is dark)
[In the early stages of Yui and Gendo's work, two Evangelions were produced; Eva Unit 00,
and Eva Unit 01. Like all Evas, the two units were cloned from Lillith; the second Angel
that struck the Earth.]
So I am simply a clone?
[It is much more complicated than that. Let me finish.]
[For these Evas to be controlled for human use, a special metallic shell was constructed.
While encased in this shell, the Evas could be restrained and even piloted by human
beings. Each Eva has its own pilot; a boy named Ikari Shinji is yours pilot.]
(still of Shinji looking serious in his plug suit is seen)
This boy... Shinji... I feel a strong bond with him...
[That is because he is your son.]
