001 | Yes, It's the End of the World As We Know It | Audio/Visual

[A young woman's voice echoes over the Vine first. IN fact, it sounds almost exactly like that of someone else the residents have heard from recently. A shrill note of panic has managed to worm its way into her voice, though.]

What is this place? Where-? How-?


[After a moment the mirror comes on. It's Asuka! Or her doppelganger. The only real difference is that she has a swathe of bandages covering her right arm and another tied tightly around her head, covering her left eye. The one that is visible is bright, blue, alert and almost panicked. Her uncovered hand reaches out toward the mirror.]

This isn't right! I was just-

I was-

[Her eye widens slightly.]

Oh my God. I-

[She chokes, retches and she sinks out of sight for a moment, hand covering her mouth. The rather unpleasant sound of someone losing their lunch is all that can be heard for a few moments, gasps for air and then more retching.]

I feel sick.

[There's a flash of irritation--and then her expression mellows out again. Clearly this girl is not at her best, no need to lose her temper over the attitude.]

I know this is gonna sound hard to believe, but you're in a place called the Gardens. From what I've learned, it's ruled by a...Queen. She seems to only bring girls here. I think she wants us to help her with something, but I'm not sure what. Something dangerous happened a few days ago, but things have calmed down now.

[Stay levelheaded, Utena.] You come from a dangerous place?

Yeah, it's really pretty, and most people seem nice so far.

... [She doesn't know what to say to that. Instead:] Say, I'm not a hallucination. I know that's hard to believe right now, but...my name is Utena Tenjou. I'm from Ohtori Academy in Japan, and I bet we're around the same age.

What's your name?

Then it's good to meet you Asu--

[Hold on.]

Tokyo-3?

No. There's only one Tokyo where I come from, and I don't know what NERV headquarters is. This gets weirder and weirder. You've never heard of Ohtori Academy, have you?

Tokyo is in Japan. How was I supposed to know you didn't grow up there?

You could've said you didn't grow up there without being rude about it. Are you just looking for a fight?

[Oh no, not another Nanami...]

And I'm pointing out yours. So we're even.
