Yeah, I don't think it's ever officially explained.. Just make up your
own conclusions.. In EoE it seemed like Rei appeared in front of
people right before they died, like an angel of death or something..

Arguement? heh.. Well, I guess I think it's Naoko too.. It does seem
hard for me to understand that though, I always thought they picked
the pilots/souls so that they would synch easy, and it never seemed to
me like Rei would be able to synch with Naoko that well.. But maybe
since its a 'new' Rei the situation is different, hell I dunno. There
really is no correct answer, it's just whatever people think. All the
signs point to it being Naoko though, if you ask me.
