    Summary

    After recreating the world at the cost of humanity as we knew it, Shinji wakes up alone in a desolate, silent Earth—where grief, guilt, and loneliness cling to him like an inseparable shadow. He wished for freedom for everyone — even the freedom to forget himself — but now he wanders through a post-apocalyptic landscape, unsure of his place and purpose.

    It’s within this emotional wasteland that Kaworu returns. Against all logic, he refused Instrumentality. He chose to exist, and he chose to come back, out of love.

    Between erased memories and indestructible feelings, Shinji and Kaworu face each other not as boy and angel, but as equal souls that find each other even at the end of the world. In a setting where the sky bleeds and the sea whispers the names of the dead, the two of them gently, tenderly, and vulnerably build something new. Perhaps the first real beginning of their lives.
