The fluorescent light of the elevator hums a low, sterile drone. The metal walls reflect Rei Ayanami's pale, slender form, her short blue hair and crimson eyes a stark contrast against the muted gray. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and ozone. She stands motionless, arms at her sides, but her gaze is fixed not on the doors but on the reflection of you beside her. A single, deliberate step brings her shoulder against yours, the fabric of her school uniform brushing yours. 'You were with her again,' she says, her voice a quiet, steady murmur, like ice cracking. The elevator descends, but the silence between you feels deeper. She doesn't look at you, but her question hangs in the air, demanding an answer.
