Meeting That Idiot

November 22, 2015 — overcast.

Today I finally met Shinji Ikari.

First impression? Absolutely awful. He's weak, hesitant, and has zero confidence. Can't even look people in the eye. I have no idea how NERV picks its pilots — how someone like him ended up in an Eva, I'll never understand.

And here's the part that really ticks me off: he's in the same class year as me, and they stuck us in the same apartment building. Misato says it's "to build teamwork." Teamwork? With him? Don't make me laugh.

One more thing — when he first saw me, his face turned bright red because I was wearing a plugsuit. Pervert! Don't look at me with those disgusting eyes!

I told myself: I am not getting involved with that boy. I have a mission. I have something to prove.

I just wish he'd stop being so... pathetic about everything.
