Summary
As it ends, so does it begin anew.
Fifteen years ago, the Second Impact radically altered the climate of Planet Earth. In the blink of an eye, three billion people perished, consumed in a sudden surge of natural disasters, as seas boiled and skies fell. The world, as it had been known up until that point, had ended--and for the new world that crawled, furtive and half-formed, out of its ashes, there was a need for a new testament, a gospel of the new age.
(This is not the first time this story has been told.)
Ikari Yui, the Third Child. Age fourteen, and fresh on the field to pay, once again, for the sins of her father. Once, Shinji defied Gendo in his grief, and rejected Instrumentality. Once, Shinji embraced Gendo in his defiance, and at last found common ground with the man who had played the most visible role in making his life Hell. Now, Yui stands opposed to Gendo once again, engulfed by the shadow of a legacy bleaker than she knows, held in the palm of her mother's hand.
And yet, salvation may be found under the unlikeliest and most counterintuitive of circumstances--can it not?
