Hikari? Hikariiii!? It's me, Asuka! Are you still alive!? I haven't heard from you since the dragon's attack and—just answer me, okay? Danke!

[orderlybento]

Asuka!

[Sheesh she was so busy trying to pick herself from a breakdown after the dragon that contacting Asuka slipped her mind. And... it's really nice to hear her friend's voice.]

Sorry, sorry. I should have talked to you sooner. Are you okay?

audio

[langleysoryu]

I'm fine.

[ Asuka sounds like she's about to add something, but silence fills the feed instead. She eventually sighs. ]

What about you?

audio

[orderlybento]

Mm, that's good!

[Is a little confused by that silence and sigh... and oh crap question about herself. Act natural.]

... I'm doing alright. That dragon really scared me at first! But, I'm okay now.

Yeah, it was a little scary. More annoying though, especially without my Eva. But, what're you gonna do, right?

[ Of course, she's all talk. ]

Listen, Hikari? [ She swallows her pride. It's not so hard with Hikari, though. ] Do you think we're here for good?

Right!

[... That makes her pause. Makes her pause really hard. They haven't even really talked about... anything having to do with their home. Not existing anymore. She doesn't even know if Asuka saw it, and she don't know if she can even acknowledge it if Asuka doesn't initiate it.]

... I don't know. I'm pretty sure there are people who have left Asgard, though.

[ She mutters: ] Good for them.

[ Then she deflates a little bit. ] I don't even know if I want to go home. [ Because the last time she was conscious, she was a moment away from being ripped to shreds. All she remembers excruciating pain. But besides that, say Shinji manned up and saved the world or whatever the hell he was supposed to do (and fat chance that ever happened), returning to that hellhole... how much would even change? How much of it could she stand?

But here, she's even less important. It bothers her. ]

[Ah she regrets she's even about to ask this question. But she kind of feels the need to. The least worst thing that could happen is Asuka reiterating what she told Hikari when she stayed over at Hikari's house.

... Some part of Hikari wants someone to talk to about the Third Impact.]

... Why not, Asuka?
