Eva is a miserable world and it makes the idea of Rei and Shinji finding happiness together all the more appealing. Very similar to why I always loved the idea of Mulder and Scully being partners. The idea of 'love against the dying world', it is a powerful one. 'Love in wartime' and all that.
This is also why I remain irritated by Anno's conservative cowardice in Shin, not to open that can of worms.
