first. ( audio )

[ The voice is hushed and small, but no less direct for it. ]

Reporting. Met with Ikari-kun and the pilot of Unit-02. [ Kaworu Nagisa, the Fifth Child - she omits him, as something unsettles her still. ] Housing was located, according to instructions. No status problems. I will wait.

[ Silence, as if she forgot to end the recording, until: ]

Requesting information on where to buy clothes. My plugsuit is not useful here.

Not in particular. Why do you apologize?

[ Honestly a little perplexed. ]

Ah....

( she hesitates, thinking about it. )

Isn't it bothering you to be asking something like that?

I don't mind.

( maybe surprisingly, she giggles a little )

Really? I keep watching the network in case someone I know comes, like my brother - I mean! ( the definition of her brother has changed for her recently, but it's not like rei would know about that. still, she stumbles. ) My friends and...around Christmas, one of them came here, so I've been keeping an eye out! You never know what might happen, right? Even a stranger from somewhere familiar would be kind of nice, I think, and it'd be good to stick together if someone like that came here. You said you're a pilot, and my brother a lot of friends are pilots too, so I was thinking - but that's silly, because there are different kinds of pilots even where I'm from, so there'd be even more with different worlds....

...oh! I'm sorry, you probably don't care about all that, though, and I kept talking anyway. My - someone from home would always say like, "Ranka, you talk too much!" and even if I'd get mad at him, it's true, huh?
