>visionSimple fact. I am no visionary, but a simple man made of flesh and blood. To understand Rei, one must look at Her from a religious perspective for She's not all flesh. The schoolgirl Rei was just flesh. As that too fell when the time came. But what inhabited the body of the schoolgirl Rei is what made Her into who She is. The "Spirit" of Rei. Or rather the "True Rei". Not some clone, but "The Person" that is Rei.
