(WARNING: This fic deals with heavy themes such as depression, mental illness, self harm, and suicide. Reader's discretion is advised.)
Shinji Ikari is at his breaking point. He's never felt emptier in his entire life. Going through life is a chore, piloting the EVA is draining, and he can't seem to get along with anyone. Especially Asuka, the pilot of EVA Unit-02 and his roommate. He always finds himself falling for her, only for his heart to be stomped and spat on. One night, when he's at his lowest low with no light at the end of the tunnel, Shinji makes an attempt at his own life. But when Asuka walks in on him, she is thrust back to the moment her mother made the same decision. As Shinji lies comatose in NERV's hospital, Asuka and Misato wait with baited breath for him to come back. Can Asuka save Shinji from himself? Can she save herself as well, and face her demons that all stem from that fateful day in her past? Can Shinji forgive himself, as well as Asuka? Any way the wind blows, the answers will be revealed.
10 years ago, the human race suffered a cataclysmic event that killed a large part of humanity. This event was called the second impact.
In the present day, monsters known as Angels terrorize humanity by trying to cause the third impact.
With normal weapons from bullets to nuclear weapons not affecting them, a company known as Smart brain takes it upon themselves to create equipment to fend off the Angels.
With the creation of the rider system, humanity finally has what they need to fight back.
Will humanity survive or will the Angels win?
