STOP IGNORING ME

[imusntrunaway]

I'm not ignoring you.

[redheadcarrier]

You seem happy to chat with Ayanami.

[imusntrunaway]

I was just checking on her.

[redheadcarrier]

She doesn't need checking! She's practically a damn robot!

[imusntrunaway]

We hadn't seen her in a while. So...

[redheadcarrier]

She's a freak.

[imusntrunaway]

[That earns no reply from him.]

[redheadcarrier]

Don't ignore me Ikari!

[imusntrunaway]

[He shouldn't respond. He shouldn't respond he shouldn't respond he shouldn't]

Do you need something, Asuka?

[redheadcarrier]

I want you to pay attention to ME!

[imusntrunaway]

I'm doing that, aren't I?
I'm answering your texts.

[redheadcarrier]

You don't actually care.

[imusntrunaway]

That's not right...

[redheadcarrier]

Why?

[imusntrunaway]

Back in the training room...
I wasn't lying about what I wanted.

[redheadcarrier]

Prove it.

[imusntrunaway]

What do you want me to do?

[redheadcarrier]

[Her answer comes about fifteen minutes later.]

I don't know.

[imusntrunaway]

[That's bad news, because he isn't sure what he should do either.

An hour later he texts her back.]

There's a festival coming up.

[redheadcarrier]

So?

[imusntrunaway]

Are you going?
