Dreams of Reality

Part III: Shinji

He closed his umbrella and stared at the rainbow that shone brightly above his head... so colorful for such a place...

"Hey guys... I'm back..."

he stared at the three gravestones in silence, each one with a simple rose on them... pink, white, red... in that order...

"I'm sorry I hadn't visited in so long... I had to work..."

The red rose slipped off the gravestone and fell on his feet. He kneeled down and picked it up, putting it back in it's place... such a beautiful color...

"I only bought this flowers for you... I'm out of money, just have enough to pay for the gravestone and my meal..."

He read the gravestone in silence and smiled at the memories that the name gave him... such a nice person... such a fatal end...

Shoyru Asuka Langley

2000-2016

"Asuka... guess what? Pen-pen is back at the house, Misato went to fetch him last week... she's much better now, no alcohol in the house... but she's started smoking... I don't know what to do with her..."

He stared at the gravestone with the pink rose... He'd always felt guilty about her death, he had been to busy working to care about her at all... It was a week after the first funeral that he had tried to get close to her, to help her... but it was too late... she was dead, and he couldn't help her...

Rei Ayanami

2000-2016

"Rei... I know I tell you this every time I come, it probably has lost it's meaning by now... but I'm sorry, I really am... Dad came here last month, I don't know if you remember... he left for Russia and hasn't come back... the government wants him dead... because of all that has been discovered of Nerv... So ironic, now he's the one that's running away..."

He looked at the last gravestone, the one that was in between the two girls... It was the only one that had something written on it, apart from the name and date... It was also the only one that was empty... because there was no body to bury...

Kaworu Nagisa

2000-2014

"Human hope is paired with sorrow"

"Kaworu... even though it happened three years ago, I still miss you too much. You really helped me, you gave me the strength I needed... to kill you... I'm sorry I ever doubted of your friendship... you where the only friend I ever had..."

Suddenly, he realized what he had said...

"Uh... I mean... you are also my friends Rei and Asuka... or at least you where... uh... I think I messed up, I'm sorry... I tend to do that."

He pulled open his umbrella as the rain started to fall once again and stood up...

"About a week ago I received a call from Hikari... She told me that Toji had just died from an infection... he was about to leave the hospital for good... The funeral was yesterday, but I wasn't able to go... however I'm buying a new gravestone for him, you know... I've decided to put it next to yours Rei, as Asuka never had the best relationship with him... So, soon he'll be here with you, somehow... you'll finally get to meet him Kaworu, if you haven't met him yet...

Anyway, I have to go guys... it's my turn to prepare dinner tonight... Misato is expecting me..."

He turned to go and for one second he thought they where there, under the cherry tree that was planted on the entrance of the graveyard... Rei with the white dress in which she was found dead... Asuka on her blue hospital robe and Kaworu with his school uniform... they smiled at him, he smiled back as the vision faded away, leaving the cherry tree lonely and the rain crashing against it's leaves...

"I'll come back tomorrow... hopefully I'll have enough money to buy more than three roses..."

Slowly he walked away from his friends, thinking about the new gravestone to be installed...

"Now I am... the only Pilot that is still alive..."

Toji Suzahara

2000-2017

Three weeks later, the gravestone of Toji Suzahara was installed in the graveyard. Just one week after that, Shinji Ikari was walking home from visiting his friends when he was hit by a car that had lost it's brakes.

Some say that he just didn't saw the car coming. Others say that he stood on the street for too long, because he wanted to die... no matter what really happened everyone agrees that when he was killed, he was smiling like he'd never smiled before...
