Eve was first introduced in a flashback of Ayanami's memories as Verloren. Eve was shown wandering in the forest in Heaven but got lost. Attempting to find her way back, she followed one of the paths but before she could go any further she sees a shadow behind her. Startled, Eve draws her sword and turns, but finds it is Verloren who informs her that and was about to enter a restricted area. Eve recognised Verloren as her father's 'greatest creation', but was surprised at the sight of him, as he was in his cloaked skeletal form at the time. She requested that he tunjuk a face that has lebih expression, in response Verloren menunjukkan her his original, human face (one that looks identical to the one Ayanami has now). Eve was speechless, then blushed and embarrassedly demanded to known why Verloren whould choose 'such a beautiful form'. Verloren explained that he turned to the form his creator gave him and Eve sighs upon hearing that this was her father's design. Verloren tells Eve that if she wants he will guide her back out of the forest, and she thanks him. As they walk Eve notices the bunga petals falling and rushes to have a better look at them. Verloren explains that they relieve the dead of suffering and lure them to purgatory where they will meet the Chief of Heaven. Eve tells Verloren that she thinks him kind, despite his job destroying bad souls, because he made them; but Verloren denies this being an act of kindness, and explains to Eve that if he took away the pain of death- then lebih people would want to give up their lives. Eve turns to Verloren and tells him that she thinks the petals pretty, 'just like snow'. When Verloren and Eve get to the edge of the forest Eve begins to walk on, and Verloren is shown reaching for her, but as she walks he drops his hand and lets her walk away.
