Eight years of me and EVA's redemption

Kaia 2022-09-26 13:17:42

Just like those isolated afternoons eight years ago, the sun shot inexplicably on my face, reflecting a blank look on my face. If I remember correctly, at that time, I took out the disk in the optical drive, wiped the water vapor from the corner of my eyes, and let out a sigh of relief, but my heart was still beating hot in the calm. I was wondering if it was too early or too late for me to see a film like EVA. In an instant, I thought of the unbearable time I was going through, the harsh language, the heavy burden, the missing girl, and the garden playground I walked alone. Of course, I didn't bring myself to tears.

Now I will laugh at myself at that time. In my pure junior high school, I was obviously overwhelmed and extremely lonely, but I kept leaving more blanks for myself after seeing EVA, and let my sadness take over. Perhaps, another form of strength is gradually aroused, and it penetrates into his soul with a synchronization rate of 400.

So now I will not choose to escape, and let the suffering of the world spread into tears; so now I will not continue to close, and set up a fragile sword to scratch every lonely soul; so I will no longer let go , lied about an empty war in indifferent language.

But I lost again. How can I bear the bloody thirst that comes out of Shinji's eyes? How can I forget Asuka's loneliness that hurts to the bottom of my heart? How can I ignore the love that melts everything in Limbo's indifference? How can I not extend my hand that will never be long enough to Nagisaun to let him escape his filthy fate? How can I resist such deadly words as "father" and "mother"? How can I stop the warmth from filling up and being devoured in that gigantic black hole under the Third New Tokyo? The impact of the layers is as decisive, as unstoppable, and as direct as the EVA attack. My AT.Field collapsed, my armor melted, my S2 mechanism was exposed, my flesh was ripped apart, and my soul embraced.

Then, I will be waiting for you in a certain paradise, waiting for the moment you see me and smile.

This is my salvation.
