Closed starter for @flammademone
Ayanami was headed home. It had been a long day of testing and experiments, and she wanted nothing more than to get back to her apartment, curl up in her bed, and sleep until the end of the world. Unfortunately, she’d been a minute too late to catch her bus, and now she was stuck with a long walk back home.
Remembering the directions to get back was more challenging on foot than it was just navigating bus stops. Ayanami squinted at the nearest pair of street signs, shrugged, and turned what she thought was the right way. As she did, she passed by an extremely tall man, taller than anyone she’d seen before. That alone wasn’t too unusual, but what made Ayanami stop was the pair of wings she’d sworn were protruding from the man’s back.
She turned around, rubbing her eyes. Surely fatigue had to be getting to her. But no, those wings were still there. In her tired state, Ayanami could only muster up the energy to expel a quiet, very flat, “What.”
