I'm sorry, Kowaru.
He kisses me and tries to take off the blinking collar from my throat. I shove him back. Slap him over the face. He looks at me with tears in his eyes and screams, yells, makes the most heartbreaking sounds. He's crying. Sobbing even. It makes me feel disgusting to watch him choke on his tears, on the brink of throwing up, yelling his guts out and banging on the glass keeping us from each other. I can't do anything to help him.
I'm sorry, Kowaru.
I feel the heat of the collar strangling me. My eyes feel like they're about to pop and I can't breathe. I look at him with a sorry look in my eyes and a soft smile on my lips.
I'm sorry, Kowaru.
The collar finally explodes. The end of Shinji Ikari. The continuation of Kowaru Nagisa.
Shinji Ikari. Alone forever. A loveless being.
