Just a friendly gesture, Shinji thought as he knocked on 402. The door revealed Rei, wearing standard grey NERV nightwear. "Ikari?"

Shinji kicked himself for thinking she slept naked.

"A-a-ayanami!" He shoved a bag forward. "Last time I was here your sheets were torn, so here's new ones. They're pretty soft."

Rei said "thank you" as he gave her the bag. When Shinji left, she replaced her old sheets with the blue ones, and got in.

It was the best night of sleep she had.

Next morning, Shinji answered the door to see Rei.

Carrying a matching set of sheets.
