Next stop, the library. Rei Ayanami promised herself that she would take a look at a couple of titles Shinji recommended her read. Fresh reading material is definitely worth leaving her safe, warm, comfortable room.
The pilot entered the _Statice _Library, and immediately started searching. Slowly she worked alphabetically through the library, enjoying the
quiescent atmosphere, something that she found rare to find in public. Rei picked up a book here and there, either being reminded of the title in which her fellow eva pilot recommended or simply having it piqued her interest.
After a good while, she was carrying two books too many in a stack, still searching for a final book that particularly stuck out to her from her to-read list. She skimmed through books, finding the section in which represented the initial letter of the author's last name.
It must be here somewhere-
There. Out of the corner of her eye, Rei spotted on a spine of a book the name she was looking for.
But now she faced a new obstacle.
A tall man by far was standing directly in the way. He seemed to be examining the row on top of it, so Rei didn’t even have the opportunity to sneak in to steal her book of choice. Ugh.
Rei had time. She decided to stand there and wait, without any verbal indication. Of course, this did not seem creepy in any way to the first child.
