Night 50: Main Hallway, 1-West

[from here]

It looked like the hallway opened up over here. Guess he couldn't expect to just run around and follow a linear corridor forever, but now he had to figure out which way he wanted to go. Normally, he'd just run down whatever hallway he happened to lay eye on first, but again, he was running a liiittle blind here.

He still wasn't seeing any people anywhere. Maybe everyone was hiding. If everyone knew the staff turned into monsters and tried to eat them, then it'd make sense that they'd try to keep low. Thankfully, he'd be taking care of whatever was wandering around this place, so they wouldn't have to stay hiding for long. Once that was done, they could blast their way out of there and he could find his way back to the others. Couldn't keep everyone waiting on account of him, right?

The touch was like a jolt to the system. The fuzziness cleared and adrenaline pumped through her blood stream as she turned to face the offender. All she could come up with was "You..." She took a step forward, brushing the hand off in her passing. "You..." How could he even think about coming up to her, as if nothing were wrong? What audacity! This stupid boy had made a fool of her! She had never been so humiliated in her life, and what was worse was the fact wonder girl had been witnessed it all! "You... lied to me... You--!"

Something came over the intercom, but it was a bit distant to make out perfectly. It sounded like Dr. Landel. "What is he up to so late...?" The answer she received wasn't exactly what she expected. A sharp howl rang through the hallway and left everyone debilitated. Asuka grabbed Shinji by the shoulders, clinging the cotton of his sleeves as she waited for the pain to go away.

Shinji hadn't expected that reaction, although he really should have been. He stumbled backward, trying to ignore the sudden panic and fear that shot through him, chasing away the exhausted weariness. He hadn't lied! How could she say that? How could he have told her that the last he saw of her, she was in a hospital bed? "No...! I didn't mean...! Asuka, please!"

He had to explain. If she would just let him explain-

The pain gripped him and his body was gripped by a spasm for a moment, mouth opening in a silent scream. He scrabbled for contact, for something to hold onto and his hands closed on Asuka's shoulders. And slowly it passed. His shoulders trembled and his grip began to ease.

"I..."
