Misato only really got involved with the pilots when Shinji arrived
and she volunteered to pick him up from the station. This was the only
reason that she ended up becoming his guardian in the first place. She
never really has much contact with Rei anyway...

Before this, she had very little to do with the technical side of
NERV, she only started taking an interest because Shinji and Asuka
were now her responsibility. Perhaps Shinji himself wanted her to be
there during the tests...

I wish that I could turn back time,
'cos now the guilt is all mine.
Can't live without
the trust from those you love.
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride,
because of that, it's killing me inside.
