Rei hugging her knees and looking at the camera. (About five years old?)

Sharp-kun: This particular shot hints at Rei's origins.
Reichu: Is the glass half-empty or half-full? But, seriously, why is Rei pictured with a nondescript glass here? In the show, don't we see a water-filled beaker in her room? Eva tomo no kai adds:
Could this be Rei from several years back? This image doesn't appear in the actual show. It may be hinting at how Rei was brought up in an experimental facility-like locale.
I always found this image misleading … It looks like the current-day Rei's head was sewn onto a child's body. Or is it just me?
