Chapter Text
Mama! Please don’t leave me! Mama please come home!
“Toji, your mother gave this present to you. Why don’t you want it?”
“Because Suzunami isn’t my real mother.”
“Toji, we talked about calling Nene ‘Suzunami’.”
“But she’s not mama.”
“‘Mama’ left long ago, she doesn’t want anything with us anymore-“
“But mama! Mama loved me! Mama always loved me! Suzunami just favorites Sakura and Kotone and Natsumi! I want mama back!”
“Toji!”
“Suzunami doesn’t love me! Or Kensuke! She thinks he’s a bad influence just because I’m a boy now! Mama never did that!”
———
“Well how did you find him?”
“Laying on the ground. Ryoji-san found him. He must’ve fainted.”
“How?”
“I’m not sure. Data hasn’t been revealed yet.”
“Alright. Makinami I’m sorry.”
“No it’s fine. I have to go now we’ll talk later.”
“Yeah sure.”
———
“Midori? The hell’s wrong with you?” Hideki asked.
“It’s stupid Suzuhara! Why the fuck is he still the major?” Midori replied, her voice sounded a bit off, she was eating popcorn.
“I dunno.”
“Exactly! No one knows! That idiot is acting like a child and Katsuragi hasn’t done anything!”
“C’mon, he has daddy AND mommy issue. He probably threw a tantrum because something reminded him of a situation there was.”
“Yeah right! You’re just saying that ‘cus he’s YOUR favorite.”
“Well yeah. The kids gotta have someone hanging with him.”
“He has that nerd. And Sakura, she works here too.”
“Who cares?”
———
“Ikari Shinji. Age 22. Cannot speak. Can we trust him?”
“Ritsuko we’ve went over this…”
“Shinji could harm Unit-03.”
“But the Magi showed that the next Angel will arrive soon, and to prevent Third Impact we need a pilot for Unit-03.”
“But Suzuhara is locked up!”
“And? We just need another pilot for now and Shinji’s right here!”
“Alright fine!”
Before Misato could leave, Mari burst into the room. “Suzu-Suz-Suzuhara’s, he’s okay…”
“What the..?”
“Okay so the cause is unknown but Suzuhara is A-O-Kay’ for piloting duties!”
“Mari what the heck?”
“THERES AN ANGEL ATTACK AND WE SENT SUZUHARA OUT! AGHH!!”
Misato and Ritsuko stared and screamed together.
