Asuka is, unfortunately, not particularly gentle, but at least she's being direct about it. She filters into his head with a faint sense of disgust. Even being helpful, it still feels vaguely wrong and invasive. She's used to it by now but it's still not easy or second-nature just yet. Instead, she tries to focus her own memories and ability into him. The step-by-step process mixed with flickers of memory and high-strung emotion. There's a history to her presence here and he might get bits and pieces from it as she tries to help him build.

A stinging, bruising slap across the face.

Something cold and exhilirating, the scent of blood.

Bone-deep exhaustion.

Sharp, jagged anger.

( You get it now, right? )
