[ooc: That moment when all the canons get mixed in your head late at night. My bad! Pretend I never mentioned the mass produced Evas aaa.../)_(\]
[Asuka has always been callous and sharp; rough around the edges would be an understatement. She could be cruel and overbearing and really, she did get on Shinji's nerves a lot. She was, to put it lightly, a bully.
But that didn't mean that Shinji didn't care about her well being. Her and Rei were in the same sinking boat as he'd been. They were all Chosen Children, and while they might've not gotten along, they still endured the same hardships from piloting the Evas. Asuka herself had seemed to fall into a pit of despair after her defeat which had been quite frankly worrying. If strong and abrasive Asuka couldn't shake her depression then what was left in store for the rest of them?]
...My fault?
[The words sting and he falters at them, digging his toes into the sand. Sure, a lot of things could be his fault and were his fault...but this too? How would it be his fault?]

What do you mean 'another one'?
