>>4360720It feels unreal that Her curling up in pain alone wasn't enough to make Shinji go out of his way to protect Her. To at least claw at fate itself to reach Her and understand Her. She was a "beacon" all that time before The End. The mystery, the way She was treated. It felt like Shinji's "growth" was simply wasted away while he was spending time away from Rei. She was his "answer". Everyone's "Answer". End of Evangelion showed that. All those "signs". Like talking to a deaf person. Or one that simply doesn't listen.
Not only that bastard reversed The Third Impact. He also reversed his "growth". Something that he worked towards all that time. He denied the only One that was truly "For Him". Like denying a "Gift". He denied his ability to be seen as "worthy" of that gift in the end. But Rei is Rei. A "Force of Nature". She simply "Is". We work towards something "that should have been". Never forget that. Or simply remember it.
