EVA7 - Rebirth

Our story starts on this lone chunk of the earth, floating in deep space...

It has been 9 years since Asuka and Shinji were left floating on said chunk of the world Shinji blew up for some reason. They have been arguing all this time, and at long last, the ever-patient Rei is sick and tired of their bullshit. In a bid to humiliate either of them, Rei threatens them into playing strip blackjack.
