Ritsuko (OFF - TEL):“Maintaining him is your job, isn't it?”
Incisivis: (171-173) Interesting that Misato's scenes in the last part of episode #02 are the ones that aren't entirely melancholy. But still…
OMF: Ritsuko's choice of words here is rather morbid, given the irony bomb ticking since 073. She may have also mentioned it to Gendo, a man with few scruples, for whom such things have worked well in the past. He's probably approved it.
