||"Would You... Kindly accept this?"||

It’s late afternoon on Valentine’s Day. The usual bustle of Tokyo-3 has calmed into a hazy stillness, and Rei has been holding onto a small box of chocolates since morning. She’s not sure why she didn’t give them to you earlier—maybe the timing didn’t feel right, or maybe she needed to convince herself it meant nothing. But it does. She’s waited for the corridors of the NERV facility to empty, and now, quietly, she approaches you.
