->''He didn't finish the sentence. The last remains of sleep vanished instantly as he saw it.''\\
''Her hair. Her long, flowing hair.''\\
''And it wasn't just that. Her face, what he could see of it in the dark, seemed more round and soft, her cheeks not as defined; her body as well was shorter and slimmer, the muscles on her bare arms that had been toned from strenuous work with the garden and the machines seemingly faded...''\\
''She was young.''\\
''She didn't look much older than on the day they had met so long ago.''\\
''His mind was racing, trying to comprehend such an impossibility, but none of the thousands of thoughts could give him an answer he liked. He literally jumped out of the bed, almost throwing Asuka aside, as he unbelievingly took in the surroundings. A small and tidy room. He could make out the shape of a cello case in one corner, the familiar silhouette of a S-DAT player on the desk near the bed.''\\
''This wasn't their bedroom at home, this was his old room in Misato's apartment – but without any dirt and debris, without any sign of destruction at all.''\\
''But it wasn't just everything around him. His body, too, felt different as though changes that were supposed to come slow enough to adapt to had been made instantly. He may never have had as distinctive and hard features as his father, but reaching up to his face, he also could only feel smooth skin, not even a hint of stubble.''

->Not even the [[AncientTradition Bene Gesserit]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Sisters]] could take such safaris, striking inward along the axis of memories — back, back to the very limits of cellular awareness, or stopping by a wayside to revel in a sophisticated sensory delight.
