Video - Late Friday Night

[imbibing]

[The video flickers on to a close shot of a dark-haired woman's face. It's possibly you might have seen her face before, on the ad at the bus stop, or model that new dress in a magazine. She usually appears to exude pure confidence in her photographs, but right now, she doesn't look confident in the least.

If anything, she appears to be a bit apprehensive.]

I don't know if this is the right place for this. [She runs a hand through her long, black hair.] I'm not even sure if all this is real.

[Her thoughts flicker to the newly-formed scar on her chest. She shakes her head, as if to dismiss the thought entirely.] What am I saying? It had to be real!

[She forces her lips to curl up into a small, tight-lipped smile.]

I'm Misato Katsuragi. I don't remember any of my past life, but I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to tell me more. If that name or this face mean anything to you, I'd like you to call me. My number's 555-736-7360.

[Her smile widens now. It's certainly more genuine than the smile a few minutes before -- and relaxed, too.]

Hope to hear from you soon!

Not really...well, I guess sometimes hearing about what other people remember or seeing what they've gotten back can help? But I don't really know how it works...

[That's just going to make her want to ask more questions though, isn't it...he's sure Rei or Asuka could talk about that stuff better than him.]

There's um, four of us who were already here and remember the same stuff, by the way. Including me.

Who else?

[Misato's going to get to the bottom of this, so help her, god!]

My sister, a really angry girl named Asuka...and a boy named Kaworu. We're all around the same age.

[Sorry Misato. You're fate is to be a babysitter.]

[Misato attempts a smile, but it comes out looking awkward. Rei's words have her feeling pretty awkward herself.]

Did... did all of you know me?

[neopianangst]

I'm not sure. It'd probably be better to ask them...they might not remember yet even if they did, though.

Okay! And Shinji? Thanks for telling me what you know.

[Then, there's an awkward pause; Misato looks like she's on the verge of saying something. It takes a half-minute before she finally manages to push it out.]

If I really was your stepmother... I hope -- I hope --

[She stops right there.]

I'll be sure to let you know.

[neopianangst]

Yeah...thanks.

[For what? He's not exactly sure.]

Good luck, I guess? Um, finding out what the others know about you, I mean.
