From the Eva Cardass masters movie card set: Drama card D-88 Title: "Kimochi warui" - Small print: "Shinji renounced the world where all hearts had melted into one and accepted each other unconditionally. His desire... to live with 'others' -- other hearts that would sometimes reject him, even deny him. That is why the first thing he did after coming to his senses was to place his hands around Asuka's neck. To feel the existence of an 'other'. To confirm (make sure of) rejection and denial." > especially after he said he was going to remain there a while > and think about his past from birth. and why was asuka there > with him in the first place? The H-11 Hokan card explains this. H-11 Hokan: http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~wignall/H11lv1e.jpg "Neither Yui, Rei nor Misato could do as a woman for Shinji. Asuka alone was the only girl on equal footing with him. So, Shinji desired/sought after Asuka. "I'm afraid of Misato and Ayanami." However, Shinji's crude affection only hurt her. In the end, he used her as an object of lust/desire to soothe/ console himself..." (reverse side of card H-11 Hokan card) http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~wignall/h11lv.jpg "In the sea of LCL, Shinji wished for a world with other people. He desired to meet them again, even if it meant he would be hurt and betrayed. And just as he had hoped/wanted, Asuka was present in the new world. Only Asuka was there beside him. The girl whom he had hurt, and who had been hurt by him. But even so, she was the one he had hoped/wished for...." > and are they at the antarctic? No, they are back in reality, just on a back somewhere (presumably somewhere in Japan, becuase you can see the remains of Lilith and Lilith was standing over Japan). -- Michael Wignall "Tomorrow's just an excuse away..."
