[Asuka stares more, shock turning more and more to fear as Harley summons up her hammer and admits her insanity. She tries to back up slowly at first, one step at a time, but when that hammer slams down the shock knocks her off her feet - whether from the impact or her own emotional surprise. Even when the crack stops before her she's not relieved. She's too busy trying to scramble up and away again.]

[Everything was so much easier when the threats were hundreds of feet tall. At least then she had her Eva to protect her. Here, there is a person, and Asuka barely knows how to operate her gem yet, let alone how it would help now.]

[And though it's the opposite of cool, dignified, or honorable in any sense, Asuka turns to run. She can find someone else for this. Someone safe. Someone sane.]
