[On the evening of February 13, a white envelope is slipped beneath the front door of Rei's apartment unit. On the front is cursively written To Rei Ayanami in black ink. Inside is a small piece of off-white card paper, and a thin bar of mint chocolate wrapped in foil.
The card has the following handwritten, unsigned message:]
Rei, I'm glad you've come here. It is my hope that we can come to enjoy one another's company. Please accept this gift as an expression of that desire. Happy Valentine's Day
[ Confusion. A strange and fleeting warmth at the words, but mostly confusion. Upon reading a second time, there's the notion that they might fit a certain person's behavior, but the customs of others on days like these were always intangible to her.
Right now, she simply sets the paper aside on her nightstand along with the chocolate. She's never tried it before and has no present need for food. ]
