Dreams of Children - My Savior
Rei Ayanami lies in bed silently as she drifts out of sleep once more and stares out into the night. The moon glimmers into her room. Dark gray clouds drift pass the full moon, making shadows on the cold gray floor of her room. The pipes between the walls bang and creek. There is no silence.
Taking her gaze off of the moon, she faces the bandages stained with blood and the cup of water in a tall glass. She places her hands over her heart. Finally she closes her eyes once more with a smile on her pale pink lips.
Rei Ayanami: Finally...finally I think I realize what I am to do. I have waited so long for this moment. No, Gendo Ikari, even you cannot stop me from being free. I will save them from this cruel world. They deserve to be happy. They deserve to be loved. They need to be cleansed from all this evil they feel. I am finally needed. I am not a doll anymore...
Voices: Release your soul...and unite with the others. Be happy. Be silent now and be still.
Rei: Yes. It is time now. It is time to fulfill my duty.
She falls quietly back to sleep. Rei's body shakes from those uttered words. She twists and turns in her creaking bed. Finally, she is still. A white aura surrounds the young girl as the soul of Lilith slowly emerges from Rei's body spreading her bright white wings. Rei opens her eyes to see the white being floating above and smiling down at her. She finally realizes her purpose and Rei gives up her life so humanity would not be lonely anymore.
Shinji and Asuka are jerked wide-awake from their dreams. What is happening? Somehow they are filled with energy and spirit. Shinji and Asuka, both in separate rooms, look around to see what is wrong. Lilith, taking on the form of Ayanami, appears to both of them simultaneously.
Lilith: You do not have to be lonely anymore. Come with me. Release your soul. Your prayers will finally be answered.
Without questioning the winged Angel, both Shinji and Asuka stretch out their arms and close their eyes with a smile on their face. Their souls float slowly up toward the winged Angel and take their place next to her. The two Reis joins back together in front of the full moon with Shinji and Asuka's soul following behind. Together with Lilith, their souls dissolve into the humid night air.
The End.
