UrsusArctos: Aoba's delighted, old Fuyutsuki slumps in relief. It's interesting that in this episode we see Fuyutsuki with his hand on Aoba's chair, and he was also standing behind Aoba in Cut 040, suggesting a Fuyutsuki-Aoba association at least in this episode. It's especially interesting since Fuyutsuki's almost always near Gendo and rarely near the bridge bunnies, and while Hyuga is paired with Misato and Maya with Ritsuko, we practically never see Aoba associated with any of the senior Nerv staff.
