“Guess you don't like your dad too
much, huh?” Misato leaned back and sighed. “Looks like we've got
that in common.”
The lift transporting the car suddenly
gave a bit of a lurch and screeched to a halt, moments away from what
looked to be daylight. Shinji looked around, but Misato just huffed
impatiently.
“You know, for everything Tokyo 3 is
supposed to stand for, its technology sure is crappy!” She looked
like she was about to throw and absolute fit, but the rage in her
eyes calmed and she chuckled to herself. “Heh, mentioning my father
always makes my temper flare. Sorry about that. I wish I had the
opportunity to go back and tell him how much I hated his guts.”
Her eyes flashed and she smiled warmly
at Shinji. “Have you ever told your father how much you dislike
him?” Shinji merely shook his head.
“Why not? Running might seem like a
good idea, but confronting the problem is the shortest way to help it
disappear. Who knows... you may not get another chance.”
Shinji opened his mouth to speak a
reply just as the lift began moving again, and he was distracted by
the reveal of the Geofront before his eyes. He planted the
conversation firmly in the back of his mind, telling himself that
maybe he should keep from running away this time.
