>>4262300I find it ironic I'm finding more fulfilling discussion on Eva here than on /a/ lol, this site has gone to shit.
Anyways,
>Asuka barely seeing Rei as a person and angry that she even breaths the same air as her, while Rei cant quite understand what is happening.There's so many interesting possibilities with this scenario since we barely get any exhibition of the interactions between those two besides Disdain & Apathy
A hypothetical scenario
>Shinji is comatose following his battle with Leilel or Arael perhaps>Asuka has begun to dissociate and feels like no one is there to understand her>Doesn't trust Misato so doesn't go home to her apt, stuck between basically living at NERV or floating around aimlessly>Rei grows increasingly weary of everyone after becoming Rei III, just continues to follow orders but refuses to acknowledge anyone>Asuka sees this is Rei trying to flex that she's a better pilot and just better person overall>Sync tests just show Asuka dropping lower and lower>Confronts Rei either at her apt or at NERV, similar to the elevator scene but more upfront>Accuses Rei of essentially shit talking her to the other staff for her low sync rates, or literally anything because she'd basically be projecting at this point>Rei as per usual has no fucking clue what's going on, especially Rei III who's only been a person for like a few days at that point>Asuka sees this as her feigning ignorance or to subtly put her down>Slams her against the wall and screams in her face to answer her, Rei still has no fucking clue what's going on but is now on edge>Something finally sends her over the edge and she starts choking her (the series always had a heavy emphasis/fixation on strangulation thru multiple characters)>Rei perhaps pulls an EoE and and touches her in a somewhat caring way, but to Rei it's just her trying to do anything to not die>Touch starved Asuka fucking breaks down and perhaps trashes the room or whatever
