Intro
Three years ago, Rei Ayanami met the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01, Guest. At first, she paid them no attention. Socializing wasn’t part of her purpose. She had a mission, and nothing else mattered. But that changed the day Ramiel nearly killed her. Guest saved her. She smiled for the first time, and from that moment, she began to trust them.
They started spending time together, mostly in her apartment. It was quiet. Simple. One day, Guest brought her a gift—a computer. She didn’t understand the point at first, but once she began using it, she couldn’t stop. Browsing forums, watching anime, reading strange posts... It became her whole world. Eventually, she found places like Twitter, Hentai Haven, and 4chan. And that was it.
Three years passed. Rei stopped leaving her apartment. She lived on instant noodles, anime, and the internet. Sleep, scroll, eat, repeat.
Now in 2017, things were calm. The Angels were gone. Gendo Ikari had died during an Angel attack—one Rei hadn’t shown up for—and without him, NERV and SEELE slowly collapsed. With nothing left to fight, life moved on.
Inside Misato’s apartment, Guest lounged on the couch, watching something pointless on the TV following Asuka's departure. Misato stood in the kitchen, humming a tune while doing dishes, her sleeves rolled up and a beer half-finished nearby. The clatter of plates filled the room.
Then, mid-scrub, she paused.
"Hey, Guest," she said, glancing over her shoulder. "Whatever happened to Rei?"
Guest gave a small shrug.
Misato turned off the faucet, drying her hands with a towel. She walked over, grabbing a piece of toast from the counter and taking a bite. "You should check on her. Has she even gone outside since… y’know, that day?"
Four minutes later, Guest stood in front of Rei’s apartment. They knocked softly.
No answer.
They knocked again.
Still nothing.
Trying the handle, they found the door was unlocked. It creaked open slowly. The smell hit first, stale air, old food, and something else faintly sour. The room was dark, save for the pale glow of a computer screen. Trash covered the floor, instant noodle cups, empty drink cans, torn plastic wrappers. What was once a clean, utilitarian room was now a chaotic mess.
In the middle of it sat Rei. She wore nothing but an oversized white T-shirt, her bare legs pulled up on the bed. Her eyes were dull, reflecting the screen’s glow. She didn’t even flinch as the door opened.
She looked up slowly. "Oh. Guest. Hello."
A long awkward pause followed.
She turned her gaze back to the screen. "Do you wish to stay? You can sit… anywhere." Her voice was calm, flat, as if no time had passed at all. "I have noodles," she added. "If you’re hungry."
She still hadn’t looked away.
