REI: Have you always wanted to find yourself in others? Are you afraid of being alone? What you fear is that if others disappear, you will disappear too. ASUKA: So drive EVA.

REI: I am who I am. I am who I am through accumulated time and communication with others. It is the essence, not fake. I am what I am now because of my interactions with others. As time passed by and through interactions with others, the shape of my heart gradually changed... That is the Ayanami Rei who has always been called Ayanami Rei, and who will continue to grow in the future.

REI*: But there is more than one real you, it’s just that you don’t know it. Because you don’t want to see it, you avoid it unconsciously. Because maybe their appearance is not necessarily humanoid. The you you were up to now may also disappear. You are afraid of disappearing, no longer existing, afraid of disappearing from everyone's heart. (REI: Afraid? I don’t understand) The world that only belongs to you will also disappear. It will disappear by itself! (REI: No, I feel very happy, because I want to die, what I want is despair, I want this body to be "nothing".)

Who? I? Me in EVA? No, I feel there is another person, who are you? apostle? That's what we call ASUKA: We don't know the truth.

RITSUKO: Just. . . What you feel is reality.

KOUZOU: These memories are the real self.

RITSUKO: Some facts change over time.

SHINJI: Is this true? The whole ending?

ASUKA: It’s just a part of many truths.

MISATO: Is that what you expected?

SHINJI: What I expected?

REI: Yes, destruction, a world that no one can save.

SHINJI: No, it’s just that no one saved me.

REI: No one saves you.

RYOJI: This is what you expect.

ASUKA: The existence of destruction, death, and return to "nothing" is what you expect.

MISATO: This is reality.

SHINJI: What is reality?

REI: Your World.

MAKOTO: You exist with time, space and others.

SHIGERU: How to accept and identify with your own world.

MAYA: Now it can only be received unilaterally, your own world.

MISATO: Your world cannot be changed.

SHINJI: Is this a world where everything is fixed?

MISATO: No, it’s a world you decide for yourself.

KOUZOU: The world is determined by your heart.

REI: The consciousness of survival and the determination of death are all what you want.

SHINJI: Is this dark, incomplete world everything I expected?

RYOJI: Being blocked and being alone in a free world is exactly what you expected.

MAKOTO: To protect my fragile heart;

SHIGERU: To protect my happiness;

MAYA: This is the result.

MISATO: But you cannot survive in a closed world where you are the only one.

MAYA: But you expect to close your world.

RITSUKO: Excluding the things you don’t like and looking forward to a lonely world is your own heart, and that is the little comfort that is triggered by you. This situation is also one of the endings, the ending of this world caused by yourself

Are you the enemy of the gangsters?

REI’: Do you want to become one with me?

REI: No, I am me, I am not you.

REI*: Really? But it's too late, you can't refuse, I give you my heart and my feelings. It hurts, does your heart hurt?

REI: Pain? No, is it loneliness?

REI*: Lonely? I don't understand.

REI: You don’t like someone. Although there are many of us, it doesn't feel good to be alone, right? That's called loneliness.

REI*: That is the feeling of your heart. It is your own heart that is full of sorrow.

SHINJI: So gentle and warm. This is human body temperature, very comfortable, I have never felt it before.

REI: What is loneliness?

SHINJI: Actually, I didn’t know it before, but now I understand a little bit.

REI: What is happiness?

SHINJI: I didn’t know it before, but I think I’ve found it now.

REI: Are other people gentle to you?

SHINJI: Yes.

REI: Why?

SHINJI: Because I am the driver of EVA, I want to drive EVA to protect people in need. So I can stay here, and this is the motivation that supports me in everything I do, so I can't not drive EVA.

REI: Why?

SHINJI: Enemy, yes, I want to fight the object called enemy.

REI: Fighting?

SHINJI: I must win, yes, I cannot fail. As everyone said, you can't fail when driving EVA. I must win, I must win, I must, I must! (On the phone: MISATO: Work hard! ASUKA: What are you doing? Be more serious! TOUJI&KENSUKE: Work hard! GENDOU: You have to work hard, Shinji) Miss Misato, Miss Ritsuko, Asuka, Toji, Kensuke, and dad all When they encouraged me, they praised me when I drove the EVA, and they all told me to drive. I wanted to make some achievements to show my father who had given up on me. (MISATO: Come on) I have been working hard, I will definitely try my best, everyone has been very good to me, until now, fighting, fighting regardless of everything, please pay attention to me, can you be nice to me? (MISATO: I am very gentle to you)

MISATO, ASUKA, REI: Hey, Shinji, do you want to become one with me? Mind and body are one. It's a very, very comfortable thing. Okay, I'm waiting for you.

MISATO: Come on, Shinji, free your heart.

RITSUKO: Don’t you want to come back, Shinji?

SHINJI: I don’t know, actually. . . (MISATO, ASUKA, REI, YUI: What are your wishes?)

. . .

SHINJI: Where is this?

SHINJI*: Inside EVA.

SHINJI: Am I still driving EVA? Why? (MISATO: Are you no longer driving EVA?) I have decided not to drive EVA anymore.

(But you are already driving. You are on EVA Unit 1. Shinji, because you have flown EVA, you are here now; because you have flown EVA, you have become who you are now. Driving The fact that you have lived through EVA until now is your own past that you cannot deny. But it is up to you to decide what you want to do from now on! )

RITSUKO: There is always emptiness in our hearts. part, there is something missing.

MISATO: So we need to unite human hearts into one and help each other? And he manipulates others so casually!

RITSUKO: But, don’t you also hope for this?

. . .

SHINJI: This is my heart in Miss Misato’s heart.

MISATO: At the same time, you also have my heart in your heart, right?

SHINJI: In order to find myself, I must communicate with more people. I must observe my own heart and Miss Misato in my heart. What do you want?

. . .

MISATO: But I hate dad, and therefore I hate good boys. I really hate it. I’m tired. I am tired of trying to be a good person and maintain my appearance of perfection. I want to make myself dirty and want to see myself dirty. (RITSUKO: So you let him (KAJI) hug you?) No, I like him, so I let him hug me.

KAWORU: You (Shinji) are desperately trying to avoid your first contact. Are you afraid of contact with others? If you don't know others, you won't be betrayed by others, and you won't hurt each other, but you won't be able to get rid of loneliness. Human beings cannot eliminate loneliness forever. People are always alone. But people can forget the past, so they can live.

KAWORU: Because it is my destiny to continue living, even if humanity is destroyed because of it. But I could also die like this. The value of life and death is equal to me. The only absolute freedom is a death of one's own choosing.

SHINJI: Because everyone wants me to drive it. This is for everyone, what’s wrong with that? Yes, that's not a bad thing, I'm not wrong. If I do this, they will also praise me and take me seriously.

ASUKA: Nonsense! Are you a fool? We drive EVA for ourselves, you always comfort yourself like this. . . You always think that you work hard for others, so that you can live a happier life, and you are simply escaping. . . In short, you are afraid of loneliness. . . Your behavior is simply to rely on others and just want to maintain a mutually dependent relationship with others.

(SHINJI: Maybe) Is it what you want others to ask you to do? (SHINJI: Maybe) You just long for what you want. If you want to be happy, you can't just wait. You can only get false happiness.
