>>3305995>what do you want me to source this? from personal experience I can say try to date someone like what I said is pretty awkward, before you ask it wasn't my sister.Your anecdotal reference does not apply in NGE
>she is literally a clone of his momYes, but at what moment does Rei behave like a mother to Shinji?
inb4 when Rei worries about protecting Shinji
She protects Shinji because at first it was his duty, but later she does it because Shinji won her affection
>read what I saidWhat you wrote "Shinji needed a sort of motherly figure" according to you is Rei does not make sense, so I ask
>yeah that doesn't disprove what I meant, it didn't have to be shinji that broke Rei out of her bubble it was just written that way, it could've been misato or some other yahoo but it was written that shinji did itIt could be but it was not and it is not, Shinji was the only one who helped Rei
