	251	The Cage. Ritsuko and Misato walk away, leaving Shinji standing alone.Ibuki (Announcement - OFF)“Roger. Suspend the current operation. Begin reactivation.”	Reichu: Here is one of those miniscule details that you can miss if you're not watching closely: Misato is hesitant to leave Shinji's side, but Ritsuko takes off without a second thought. Keisuke-kun: Starting with this cut, the Renewal version of this scene is different; EVA-01's eyes “shutoff”. Apparently even the Eva lost faith in Shinji. Reichu: Very interesting… Although would that mean her eyes are supposed to be closed now? For some reason, that seems a little odd, considering the stunt she pulls presently. Or perhaps not — there's reason to think the Evas don't actually need their eyes for perceive their environment. (For one thing, the harpies get along just fine withoutthem.)
