Oh, and has human compassion, but that doesn't mean Rei's a damsel.
>>2217730"Not being a damsel" or "being strong" doesn't equate, and *shouldn't* be equated with being indestructible or completely hard-hearted. As far as Rei herself can influence the situation, she'd demonstrating impressive will power.
