>>2938819Im a extremely optimistic fool who believes that everyone who leaves instrumentality is willing to take a step in the right direction (even random people unrelated to the plot, as they partake in instrumentality and probably were affected by Shinjis resolution), and the cast will mentally heal and improve afterwards.
This includes Asuka.
Because, honestly, i think that "child soldier, extremely aggressive, happy in a bloody battlefield, deeply depressed and arrogant Asuka from NGE" without a life changing experience like instrumentality would end up much worse than Misato and Ritsuko. Probably either kill herself for good or end up as a serial killer, or something.
