While Shinji and Unit 1 were inside the Lillith/Rei construct, one of the
images he saw was swarms of identical Reis swimming towards a red light
What is your impression of this?

Were these the  Rei clones that Ritsu had destroyed but had been brought
back during Third Impact?

Were the human souls being absorbed by Lillith/Rei transformed in identical
Reis. ?

Were the swarms of Rei actually part of the internal structure of
Rei/Lillith (sort of like the blood cells, whatever?)?

Was this a delusion by Shinji (his brain was pretty close to a short circuit
by this point) and he was interpreting the unknowable in terms he could
understand?

Any opinions?
