Night 46: M21-30 Hallway
Shinji hesitated at the threshold and after a moment of horrific indecision and fear he forced himself to take the step out of his room and into dim and darkened hallway. It was all strange again. The people, the appearance of this hallway - so much for hoping that last night might have been a fluke. With a start, he realized he still didn't know where Kaworu and Asuka were being kept and with that realization came the idea that he would have to go and find them (or someone; anyone) by himself. He shivered, wrapping his arms around himself. At least he had his flashlight.
He flicked it on, playing the beam of light over the floor, the walls. He hated this place at night. It reminded him of dim nightmares about hospitals, of being alone without anyone to help or hear him. At least during the day it was clean and white and safe, like a hospital ought to be. Here, it was simply surreal and twisted. He swallowed nervously and took another step down the hallway. Then another. He had to get out of here. He had to find someone.
Shinji forced himself to walk. He wouldn't run. He mustn't run. He still needed to find someone though. He couldn't just sit in his room and pull the covers over his head, as much as he would like to.
Alone and afraid Shinji pressed on into the darkness.
