This is about a very hyperspecific post 1.0-3.0 AU that I spin in my brain so let me explain what's going on because it's really confusing. It's set 3 years after 1.0 - 3.0, in the new world. Shinji and Mari are roommates and generally Shinji's been doing much better for himself, but the memories of his past lives still follow him around like shadows. He catches a glimpse of a familiar figure whom he's been especially missing if you catch my drift wink wonk and, unwilling to sit back and let the opportunity pass him by like he might've done 3 years ago, he follows him. When their eyes finally meet, he can tell that Kaworu recognizes him too. After the events of this animatic they stay friends for about a year before realizing they r still gay and in love and then they kiss the end I'm sorry for the wall of text lol. also I spent a month and a half on this if it flops like the last one I will perform a reverse enema on God with my dog's stinky doodoo don't test me
