[Eva has been released from medical care and supervision-with orders to relax, avoid stress, and most of all to not touch the Albatross. And she's still not getting her weapons back. But for the girl who's constantly exercising, practicing at the shooting range, or trying some simulator mission, the first of those orders is the most problematic.

She can be found in the hangar, wearing her usual civilian clothes-a short skirt and a chinese-looking sleeveless top. There, Eva sits across from the Albatross, 'BE THOU AFRAID' displayed in baroque letters on its forehead. She sits there, and watches, and waits.

And waits.

And waits.]

[Eva does not immediately reply, aside from a small reflexive gasp as she's pushed up against the wall, Leos's hand on her chest. But there are some subtle changes in the way she stares back at him, the shape of her mouth, the beating of her heart just near his hand-it is an undercurrent of fear.]

...No. No...you are not.

Like I said before. Maybe I'm not the one lying to myself. I could've killed you. I could still do it now. But I'm not going to do that.

So how am I the one without self restraint. Answer. I'm not. Its you.

[Leos lowers his head.]

So I'll say it again... I'm going to go try get you some help. And maybe everyone will be better for it.

[Her heart's still racing as she picks her words.]

Then...The psychologist's office...isn't here. So...

[break_the_nine]

So? Is that a problem?

[There is still another razor blade, hidden in her shoe. But it is not as easy to access as the others, and if the last bout is any indication...If Leos desired something wicked...]

...No...But...if you want to speak to them...you should leave.

[...She does not think she could stop him.]

[Not unless she had actual weaponry instead of hidden hold outs and some distance. Up close like this...?]

I will. But I suggest you learn some self control, and make sure that when Commander Howe arranges for your help - you go for those sessions.

Understand?

[brought_it_back]

Yes...sir.
