>>4324015Ontologically there absolutely are false Reis, the principal example being the one you continue to share and incorrectly categorize alongside the real Rei. It is false precisely because it is soulless, and no different from those husks you refer to. There is only one Rei, and the very fact that the Rebuild abomination posited that there could be more than one, by doing away with the truth of the Soul so fundamentally displayed in the original series, shows how far Anno has fallen from the light he broke through to in the time at the end of the last millennium. You post but a shade, a phantom --- an εἴδωλον that merely resembles in outward appearance the real being.
