Summary
Learning German was supposed to be a simple chore by NERV, just another test to study for. But for Shinji Ikari, it becomes something else entirely.
After a humiliating exchange with Asuka, he begins to wish that he could be braver, louder, more like her. Shinji falls into frustration, daydreaming about the things he could have said, but didn't. With Asuka out and Misato busy though, Shinji finds himself alone. After a stray impulse to clean Asuka's room, Shinji finds a pair of bright red interface clips, and a sudden, breathless urge to see himself differently.
