	221	SHINJI:“Where am I?”
	222	SHINJI:“Inside the Eva.”
	223	SHINJI:“Inside the Eva? Did I pilot the Eva again?”
	224	SHINJI:“Why?”
	225	MISATO:“You won't pilot the Eva anymore?”
	226	SHINJI:“I've decided I will never pilot Eva again.”
	227	MISATO:“But you did pilot Evangelion Unit 01.”
	228
	229	MISATO:“Shinji, you are here now because you piloted the Eva.”
	230
	231	MISATO:“You are the person you are now because you piloted the Eva.”
	232
	233	MISATO:“You cannot deny it, that you in fact piloted the Eva, nor can you deny the self that you have been so far, which is your past.”
	234
	235	MISATO:“But as for what you will do from now on, you must decide for yourself.”
	236	SHINJI:“I... I...”
	237
	238	MISATO:“If it can't... If it can't even save one life, then what good is science?! Give Shinji back!”
	239	MISATO:“Give him back!”
	240		Mr. Tines: Cue discontinuity
	241
	242
	243	SHINJI:“A smell... A person's smell? Miss Misato? Ayanami?”
	244
	245	SHINJI:“No, not them.”
	246
	247	SHINJI:“That's right. This is the smell of my mother.”
	248	IKARI (OFF):“So he will live in this world, in the hell after the Second Impact?” YUI (OFF):“Oh, but if you have the will to live, anywhere can be heaven. Because he is alive. He'll have plenty of chances to find happiness.” IKARI (OFF):“I see. That's very true.”	dzzthink: His quest to find his mother and her leading him back to the real world is similar to the end of EoE. His faint recollection of his mother are key to resolving his past abandonment issues. UrsusArctos: All the same, I find the entire conversation between Gendo and Yui bizarre. It may be true that one can find happiness where one has the will to live, but the way Yui brushes off Gendo's very valid concerns - and the way Gendo caves in to Yui's rather vacuous reassurances - comes off as plain messed up.
	249A	SHINJI:“Mother...”
	249B
	250	YUI (OFF):“Have you decided yet?” IKARI (OFF):“If it's a boy, Shinji. If it's a girl, I'll name her Rei.” YUI (OFF):“Shinji... Rei...”
	251	SHINJI:“Mother...”
	252
	253
	254
	255	MISATO (OFF):“Shinji!”
