*meanwhile, at sips and Sjin's, Evie and shinji are discussing quietly whilst baby Sera is asleep in her crib* Shinji: thanks again for watching Sera, Evie. Much appreciated. Evie: don't sweat it, shinji, I enjoyed the break from my usual duties. Shinji: its a relief to have someone as trustworthy as you here, despite your current disposition... Evie: yeah, with the whole war between the groups that are for going outside of the city's walls and fixing our planet's crisis and those that wish to stand under the faction system and remain in the city sill waging on, its been tough to catch a break. It's a shame that you cannot get involved. Shinji: I can't, as you know, I am to remain on the sidelines and wait until one side has prevailed,you know what a shock to the system it would be to those people. Evie: I know.... *a moment of silence passes by*
