Third Child's Decision: I Am Shinji Ikari



What can I do?

I'm just a boy.

"He" proved that.

Putting my friends blood on my hands.

Not allowing my rage.

And not even saying why.



A flash, and down goes Rei.

Asuka's already lost.

It's strong this one.

This Angel.

Of Might.

Of Death.



Then it hits me.

What Kaji's been saying.

Kaji can't save anyone.

"He" can't save anyone.

Only I can.

I just have to want to.



I run, because I hope,

Hope that maybe this will redeem me.

That I can wash the blood from my hands.

Toji's blood, Rei and Asuka's too,

Because I waited.



I see "Him" towering there.

But he can't save anyone.

I can, I will.

I know why I pilot.

"He" want's to know why I'm here.

The answers obvious.



"I am Shinji Ikari! I am the pilot of Evangalion Unit-01!"



Very redundant authors note: Obviously from when Shinji went to fight the
fourteenth angel. What more explanation is required?
