NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: SENSHI NO MICHI
An extract from Gouken's journal, dated 15th of August, 2015.
I knew this would happen, eventually. I can only blame myself for growing complacent, for deluding myself.
When I took Shinji in, and Asuka soon after, it was with a desire to save them from dark futures. Both children's families had been fractured, and I sought to offer them stability, to save them from themselves.
However, this didn't seem to correspond with what NERV, or GEHIRN, as they were apparently named, had planned at the time.
It was only shortly after I had taken Asuka in for the foreseeable future, that a group of men, led by one Gendo Ikari, arrived at the dojo's doorstep.
The man, to this day, stirs strong feelings in me. What kind of man abandons his only son? If I had not been there, at that place, at that time, who knows what might have become of Shinji?
Everything I have done bears NERV's taint - It was the only way I could keep custody of the children - I promised to, when it was possible, begin physical conditioning of the two, and to find them tutors – teachers of math, technology, and the sciences.
All this, to prepare them for an unknown calling – one I still fail to guess.
I had to push them, even when it seemed barbaric. GEHIRN had told me they would come for the children some time in 2015, and I had little choice but to push them through their training. I can only hope I did well enough as a father to make up for it.
When I was eleven, I was still training in basic technique. At that same age, my children trained in Hado, becoming adept in Ansatsuken's most powerful techniques only a year ago.
Their physical conditioning and strength is on par with a grown man's.
What was I preparing them for?
...I can only pray that I am not sending my children off to die.
Expect little interludes like this. Hopefully they'll add cool little things to the story, little bonuses. I give all the credit to Machiavelli and his fantastic Shinji and The Doctor story. I only hope I can become half the writer you are.
