    Summary

    Class 2-A, of Tokyo 3’s First Municipal Junior High 8th grade, was beginning the two-week nightmare of the baby unit. This wasn't particularly special; in fact the dear reader might recall a period similar. However, this was also the class harboring the First, Second, and Third child, and between manning the world-defending EVAs and trudging through their own grief-saturated personal lives, dealing with a school mandated screaming plastic baby was an annoying priority.

    OR

    Rei and Asuka mistreat their plastic infants, in stark echoes to the way they themselves have been mistreated. and Shinji tries his best.

    the conversation between gendo and rei, regarding her "baby", creates dread in my heart every single time. gendo, gtfo omfg. rly... rly fun study of the pilots. rei's part is especially fantastic and i've never seen her hauntings from her prev "identity" being movingly, and then chillingly put into words.

    then and now, the passages and lines within this fic come to mind, and more.

    (...) the tears were different, different in a way Kaworu still does not understand. It hurts to not understand.

    “I suppose not.” Kaworu watches the two teenagers in the waves. “We are not boys anymore, are we?”

    “No,” Shinji says. “We are not.”

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    this is simply and canonically what happened after thrice upon a time, and you can't take that away from me (delusional←me)

    Were love given a physical state, say liquid, then what each date offered Shinji was a teacup's worth of affection. It was a well enough amount. If he kept collecting that love and saved it, eventually he'd have enough to fill a tub, and perhaps by the end of his life, the equivalent of a small pond.

    The problem was this: Shinji had once (it was infinitely more than once) received love from another person in such abundance that it could be compared to nothing less than the ocean.
