Reversal of Misfortune: Different Actions

A/N: As I await a chapter concerning this story, this will be the secondary chapter of this story. Here goes something new for readers.

All she could feel was that something wasn't right about letting her daughter spend time with her ex-husband on this expedition he was planning. Maybe it was more than a feeling, but when he called and suggested that Misato come with him on the expedition, Misao had to decline, even insinuating that he would spend more time working than actually being with their daughter, just like he had when they were married.

"…And I just have a feeling that it will be better if she didn't go with you to one of the coldest places on the planet," she recalled herself saying to him over the phone. "She just met someone that she goes to school with, and he seems like a good guy."

When her daughter returned her from school, Misao Katsuragi put her phone conversation with her ex-husband aside, glad that she declined his offer to have Misato go with him on his expedition of scientific research.

It wasn't possible, but it had happened. The specimen that the Katsuragi Expedition discovered…evaporated. It evaporated, disintegrated, or something that meant it wasted away to nothing. All their research, for whatever it was worth to any of the members, was worthless.

Adam, the First Angel and the keeper of this metaphorical "Fruit of Life", a perpetual engine of unlimited, self-sustaining energy…was no more.

Someone had to have done something to cause this outcome, but everyone questioned denied doing anything that would cause Adam to degenerate. The only logical solution had to due to the very nature of the Angel, likely due to its preserved state being exposed to the atmosphere of the South Pole. It couldn't survive outside of its preserved cradle and in a human environment for an extended period. Overexposure to the outside air accelerated its natural decomposition.

"With Adam gone, we'll have to end the expedition," Dr. Katsuragi sighed in defeat to the other scientists involved. "Pack it all up."
