>>4349390If you think about it, it’s possible that Asuka’s fixation on Kaji runs deeper than simple teenage lust. Kaji would have been the first adult who took care of her and treated her as important since her mother died. Her own father and step mother don’t seem to care enough or understand what she’s feeling. So if you think about it, Asuka placed more than romantic desire on Kaji. He was the one who (in her mind) gave her something to look forward to. So him beginning to ignore her is a deeper betrayal than simply not validating her sexuality. He’s the last person who made her feel like she matters, and I don’t think Kaji recognizes the responsibility of that.
