RITSUKO:“still exists.”
MISATO:“Now you're respecting human life?”
RITSUKO:“We can't afford to lose Shinji right now.”
MISATO:“Well, I wonder?
Isn't what Nerv wants not Shinji's life,
but Unit 01 as its tool?”
RITSUKO:“I won't deny it.”
IBUKI:“We can surmise that Shinji's body
lost its ego border,
and he's floating in the entry plug
in quantum form.”
MISATO:“In other words, Shinji has shifted
into a form we can't see?”
IBUKI:“Yes, the composition of the LCL inside the plug
has chemically altered
into something very similar to the
sea water of primitive Earth.”
MISATO:“A soup of life, huh?”
RITSUKO:“All of the substances which composed Shinji
are still preserved in the plug,
and what could be called his soul
exists there as well.
In fact, his self-image is pseudo-
substantiating his plug suit.”
IBUKI:“In other words, salvaging him means
reconstructing his body and
anchoring his psyche within it.”
MISATO:“Is that possible?”
RITSUKO:“With the Magi's support, yes.”
MISATO:“Theoretically, right?
You can't know what will happen until you try it.”
