Priss stared the other two down. Especially the one who had forced
Sylia to upload her to into a buma to live, only to watch her love

Makoto stared the other two down. Especially the one who screamed out

electrocuted Shinji, sparing Asuka's life from the one who thought he
could be the last human alive. Vengeance, she supposed, for all the
other lives he had, for all intents and purposes, killed.
