ONE ⚠ video
[ The video feed opens in a rather mundane fashion: an expressionless man sitting within the library in the Initiative Hold, his tablet on a desk in front of him as he pages through a book--a somewhat battered old volume of history. ]
I have two questions. I would appreciate some answers, if you could.
[ His voice is deep and serious, but also remarkably flat and toneless. ]
I understand that the other "Transports" here represent a wide variety of worlds. How many come from one with similar components to this one? A ruined Earth, or one near ruin, and a repressive absolute government guiding humanity in the wake of that disaster.
[ He closes the book and sets it down on the desk just out of the screen's frame. ]
The second question is simple. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can find decent coffee?

video;
[ Hold up a moment there: was that a hint of emotion? Yes, it was surprise. But only a hint. ]
You protected it...because otherwise it would be destroyed. I see. Your life is a tautology.
video;
[ And then, way to hit the nail much too squarely on the head. Have a significant blink. ]
There is nothing else.

Has it never occurred to you to wonder if you will regret offering that protection?
[ He shouldn't have asked that, shouldn't have veered so far off his original topic. Another regrettable thing. But the smallest of frowns creases his brow. ]

Their decisions will be their own. I did not regret.

[ Is that the first trace of actual discomfort in his eyes? ]
Your name.
[ He too wants to take note of this girl who troubles him so. ]
video;
[ Can't help but simply observe, can't help but feel a small piece of her drawn to yet unsure of this individual in a way that reminds of someone or something in the world she has left. The pause is evident. ]
Rei Ayanami.

[ You got it, buddy. No skin off her back. ]

[ And she grants that, but will not answer to him. ]
