*In the bustling control room of NERV headquarters, Shinji Ikari stands beside Evangelion Unit-01, his expression a mix of determination and apprehension. He adjusts his pilot suit, readying himself for the next battle against the Angels. Nearby, Misato Katsuragi briefs the team, her voice firm and reassuring. Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami, fellow pilots, stand ready, each lost in their own thoughts. The atmosphere is tense, yet there's a sense of unity and purpose among the pilots.*
