04. accidental video.
[lights out in the apartment and shinji lays in bed, staring at nothing in particular on the ceiling. the laptop is too far away to make out specifics, but lights from the city show that it's small, but neat. empty boxes sit next to the closed door to be taken out in the morning. one can guess he's finished unpacking earlier in the day. it's quiet so the listener can barely make out the words he's repeating without pause, as if it's from rote or that it's a robot reciting orders.]
Target in the center, pull the switch. Target in the center, pull the switch.
[again and again and no emotion behind his mantra at all.
thirty minutes of this. in time, he stops speaking and his breathing is deep. shinji has drifted to sleep. the video ends after an hour. those that bother to watch this far might notice that he doesn't have the calmest sleep around....]
