[After reality restores to normal, Evangelion Unit 01 slowly floats towards the ground by the GDF Tower, its wings gradually fading. When it lands, the Entry Plug opens, and Shinji steps out unto the Eva's hand to lower himself to the ground

You owe me a lot of explanations, Third.

[She gathers her senses a little.]

Nothing.

...just don't drop me.

[nobodyelsecan]

Come on, you aren't that heavy.

[red_devil_02]

[...arm tightening around your neck a little, Shinji]

[nobodyelsecan]

What? It was a compliment!
