Re:Vangelion - Re: Life to a World of Mechs

Prologue: Another world

The darkness crept like an invisible veil, it was heavy and dense, swallowing every fragment of my body.

"I'm... Screwed! I-is this my end?!"

________

It was nine o'clock at night, I was completely bored and... mentally tired, so I decided to go to a convenience store near my house.

Upon entering the establishment, I saw that it was practically empty, which was quite understandable, since it was late at night, and there I was, Natsuki Subaru, reading a manga that I ended up finding while rummaging through the depths of the stores.

There were two mangas that interested me, one was about a romance, a kind of ridiculous love triangle that for some reason caught my attention enough that I ended up reading it and being instigated to continue. And another... It was about giant robots, which I didn't really like. The protagonist was a wimp and that bothered me a lot... But for some reason, I rooted for him.

Maybe it's because...

_________

It was cold and pulsating, moving like those liquid shadows that run down the walls of my body, penetrating every space with an inescapable presence. It was an immeasurable pain.

"It hurts... A lot!"

_________

While I was reading the romance manga, I saw a couple in love through the window. I looked at them with envy, thinking, I would like to experience something like that, right after this disappointment, I put the manga back on its shelf.

"What the hell..."

________

That creature embraced my body like a viscous sea, sucking the air from my lungs, suffocating all my hope and crushing my resistance, piece by piece.

"W-why this to me?!"

_________

My gaze was empty, I simply didn't care about anything, I just wanted... To disappear, to disappear from here!.... To go somewhere else, I don't know. Anything was enough at that moment.

I was hesitant about getting the Tonkotsu Noodle and the Miso Natto. I sighed deeply and picked either one, since they were the same price. But then I thought: "This Miso Natto is spicy." - So I decided to get it.

I walked a little further around the store and picked up some chips, and went to the cashier to pay.

_________

It was a feeling of growing emptiness, where the memories themselves seemed to fade, as if the self was nothing more than a darkened reflection, slowly being erased.

"W-Wait!"

__________

"That's three hundred and sixty-six yen, please." - The cashier said.

When I went to get my wallet, I ended up finding a rare coin. - "Interesting..." - I said to myself.

After paying, I ended up leaving the establishment, and was greeted by the cold night wind. That cold night consumed me, but I was wearing my usual black, orange and white jacket.

I walked around carelessly, not caring about the moment that night was giving me.

"I-I'm going to..."

Maybe... Maybe I should have... Enjoyed it more...

"Save you!"

My freedom.
