Ikari stares out a window with his arms crossed.
The reflection of his face can be glimpsed in the window.
The man comes up to him.
MAN (OFF to begin with):“Excuse me. As we're sharing this flight,
do you mind if I sit here?”
SEELE-01: I only just realized that this is actually one of the few scenes in the entire series in which we see Gendo outside of NERV.
The only other times: In episode 5, he goes to see the remains of the 4th Angel; episode 12, in Antarctica; episode 17, in a train with Fuyutsuki (and even then, going into NERV); and some scenes in episode 21 (which pre-date NERV).
Kendrix: This seems to be where Rei got her tendency to sit next to and look out of windows all the time - if anything, Gendo's body language is even more closed off, and the indirect shots (such as announcing the other dude's arrival by showing us the hem of his jacket) helps to frame this whole scene as an impersonal business conversation
