I think I now understand what did Rei mean in EoE train by "truth is very painful sometimes" after Shinji says "but ambiguity only keeps things confused". Truth here is painful not for Shinji but for Asuka. She doesn't want to admit that she needs help from someone so she says confusing things: kiss because of boredom (Shinji was just stupid in this situation), walls of Jericho (here he wasn't based and christpilled enough to understand).
And that's also why Shinji after Asuka says "even the sight of you makes me irritated" says "that's because we are the same". Both need help from others but she doesn't want to admit it and openly ask for help like Shinji because in her opinion this is weak . But in EoE in instrumentality she no longer denies that she needed him all this time And only in the end of EoE she breaks this cycle with caress
Fuck, I watched this anime too many times and going to watch it even more because I still don't understand what exactly did Asuka mean by "you are scared of the first and Misato so you ran away to me" in EoE kitchen. Any ideas anons?
