REI VOICE:“I'll share what's in my heart with you.
I'll share this feeling with you.”
Dr. Nick: So, what is Armisael's motivation for doing this? Being the last of Adam's children, did it come to the realization that their side has lost and therefore just came to torture the Eva pilots by sharing its pain? Cut 158 shows that it launches after Eva-01 immediately after Shinji activates the AT Field, whilst ignoring Asuka because she doesn't get her field up, so it isn't just targeting Rei.
One theory, courtesy of the additional DC scenes, is that Armisael is somehow trying to resurrect its dead siblings, but more about that in a bit.
