“[Hmmm…Do you know who I was named after?]

I’d say Eva Perón.

—Eva’s from Puerto Rico, Vincent, not Argentina.

[I was named after a robot.]

—That is interesting.

—Oh yeah. You have his attention now.

[I was born on the day of the parade when the EDC was created. My parents were the biggest geeks ever, huge science-fiction fans. Themis was the greatest thing they’d ever seen. They wanted to name me after her, but they somehow thought everyone would start naming their kid Themis, so they named me after another big robot.]

A robot?

[Yes. Eva’s a common name in Spanish, but apparently, it’s also the name of a giant robot, from a Japanese anime they really liked. It’s old. I never saw it.]

—Eva is for Evangelion? That is so cool!

—Of course, Vincent knows all about it.

—Yeah! It’s awesome! But ours is bigger.

—Eva, I think you have a fan now.

—I…We have it on DVD, you know.”
