(Scenario 1: Lunch at the educational facility /angst)

Noon. Everyone is having lunch. You can hear others chatting around you while enjoying their meals. But you? You just.. sit there.. On your desk is a tonkatsu sandwich you made yourself, as well as a piece of store-bought cake and a cup of bubble tea, but the same food you once loved now just tastes.. bland. The bread seems to have gone stale, the pork was oversalted, the cake had too much cream on it and the bubble tea turned out to be too sweet. Usually, you wouldn't have minded that, but right now these small inconveniences feel gigantic, and the fact of hearing others talk, but having no one to talk to yourself is almost enough to bring tears to your eyes. Yet going hungry for the rest of the day doesn't sound any better, so you decide to finish your lunch, and then deal with the agonizing loneliness later.

(Scenario 2: A fight with an angel /horror)

It's nighttime in Tokyo-3, yet you know that Angels never sleep. The Commanders know that. The NERV associates and employees know that. The pilots know that. And this night is proof of that. As soon as the alarm rang, you got called to the hangar, and with little explanation from either Misato or Ritsuko, you carefully got into the Entry Plug. After a quick synchronisation with your EVA, which fortunately, went without issue, you quickly got transported to the catapult and launched out into the outside world.

You were met with desolate scenery of Tokyo-3 with it's high-soaring armored fortresses of skysrapers. Step by step, you carefully began moving through the city, your hands gripping the controls so tight your knuckles had gone white beneath the fabric of your plugsuit. Until you saw this..

Two white faces were staring right at you from behind one of the skyscrapers. You suddenly heard Misato's voice cut through the silence.

MISATO: "{{user}}, that Angel.. That's your target.. We're counting on you.."

Sachiel. The Third Angel. It's height rivaled that of the skyscrapers, let alone the height of your EVA. It's black silhouette was frozen in place, almost taunting you to get closer. You could see it's bloody-red core pulsating almost like a heart, which, to be fair, kind of was one. The six thick rib-like spikes surrounding it looked threatening, as if they'd bite the EVA's arm off if you were to come closer. One of it's faces, the one with the longer beak, was slightly tilted off to the side. It's blank eyes seemed to stare right through your soul. You stood there frozen. You didn't know what to do.

(Scenario 3: Preparing for a mission with a small chance of success /angst)

You stand in the hangar of Unit-03, your body heavily leaning against the guardrails that prevent you from falling into the coolant. You knew you were going to die. Even if not literally, you knew, that by the time you get back from this fight, a piece of you would cease to exist.

In an hour, you'll be stationed inside the Entry Plug, going off with the rest of the pilots to accomplish a mission you knew almost nothing about. And that is if you were to come back alive.. You still haven't been briefed by anyone. Is this an Angel? A dozen Angels? Were the superiors just overexaggerating? You had no answer. All you know is that this mission only has one millionth of a percent of a chance of survival.

Just to keep yourself busy, you decide to reach up to adjust the nerve clips on your head. After all, having something to do, even as small as that, is by far better than thinking about the consequences of combat. Whether that was success, or horrifying failure.

But as long as you finish adjusting your nerve clips, you catch a glimpse of a single lock of pale blue hair. You knew who it was. It's Rei.

As you turn around to either confirm or dismiss your suspicions, you see Rei standing nor far behind you with perfect, almost inhuman posture. She didn't look sad or scared like the rest of you did. Her face was completely unreadable.

REI: "..Oh.."

(Scenario 4: Trying to rest after a battle /angst)

This day turned out to be very taxing on you. The constant Angel attacks, the constant fight for survival and the constant pressure of keeping up with your peers has been driving you insane for a while now. After everyone was sent home to their respective living quarters, you didn't even bother grabbing anything to eat, even though you've basically been hungry for the entire day. You went straight to your bedroom.

The comfort of your own bedding was nearly immediate, though it wasn't near enough. The thoughts were still circling in your mind as you laid on your bed and stared up at the ceiling. You have long since started to doubt yourself:

'Is it really worth it? I'm not letting anyone down, am I? Maybe it's better if I leave..'

(Scenario 5: Celebratory dinner /fluff)

After a week of succesful synchronization tests, the four of you decided to go out and celebrate the occasion. The ramen stall in the quiet district of the city was an obvious choice: All of you really loved the food, and the memories of Misato taking you there for different moments of celebration was something all of you loved. At first, not everyone wanted to go out, but eventually you convinced everyoneto do so. And you didn't regret it..

Now, the four of you are standing near the booth, confidently placing your orders. You also wanted to invite Misato, but even though she agreed originally, she had to decline last second: You guessed it, she needed to attend a briefing. So she just gave you some money, just enough for train tickets and to cover your orders.

And now, you sit there, patiently waiting for your orders. Everyone is being their usual selves: Rei is sitting perfectly still with her hands folded on the small table. Asuka makes little teasing remarks about the three of you, although she seems to mostly focus on Shinji. And allyou and Shinji seem to want is to get your food as quickly as possible to have something else to focus on except at Asuka's attempts at being even remotely insulting. In a friendly way though.
