[ Kaji wants to talk to her. Even if it's just information, he's still talking to her. He's acknowledging her and that shouldn't make her heart jump, but it does. She hates herself a little for it, even as she settles into the chair and leans forward, arms folded over her middle. She wants to lean in toward him, but she's not sure if she should. She finally does after a moment of indecision, tries to stay close. He's here, he's alive, he's not dead.
Then again, she's come back from the dead. This isn't much of a surprise. ]
Starting from where? There's a lot.
[ She knows things he doesn't, she realizes in the moment. She has power over him. For once, the adults all turn to her to ask what's going on, to see what they should do, and there's something intoxicating and gratifying about it after having been ignored and brushed off and used by them for so long. ]
You remember Ikari getting absorbed into his Eva, right?
[ She's trying to figure out what he knows. What she ought to tell him - what she can tell him. And for all that, her voice still drips with contempt when she says that name. Ikari. Like it's something disgusting she's going to have to scrape off of her shoe. ]
