>>3364496I already understand your point, in that scene it is very explicit that Rei wants to be with Shinji
So, you would have liked Rei to reject her divine side?
>>3364506At that time Shinji did not know what to think about Rei, but Shinji was not indispensable for Rei III because I wonder how Shinji could help Rei exactly?. For Shinji the Rei who had known and shared some moments with him was gone and now had in front of him a girl similar to Rei who does not remember what happened recently, that was hard for Shinji
I neither think Rei is a clone, but what is she exactly? (in relation to Yui)
Anyway Shinji was never very close to Rei, but I agree to say that this does not excuse him from doing nothing for Rei
What bothers me a bit in EoE is that when Shinji meets Rei, Shinji is not surprised to see Rei again, I would have loved that they would have talked a bit about their relationship in particular about the death of Rei II and the repercussions that had that event
