Xard: ...and right next we get pov shot from Shinji's perspective in which we see blurred figure of Rei through said glasses. They went to the point of blurring the shot and adding cracks as if the glasses were pressed against fictitious "camera".

The ramification of the motif and "countershot" for this cut must wait 'till ep 6, however.
Fireball: Now where the hell did she came from? How could she not have heared Shinji?
