BGM START: A-1 [Rei I]Shinji becomes depressedShinji (MONO) “I knew it.”(Insert: Young Shinji)Dejected, he lowers his head.“…I'm not needed after all.”
thewayneiac: Does that mean he wanted them to put morepressure on him?First he insists that there's no way he can pilot the Eva, then he's upset when they accept that and sendfor Rei. He wishes they had continued to pressure him to pilot, so he would feel needed.
OMF: I don't think just any pressure would do, though. Acknowledgement, of any kind, from his father was what he was ultimately looking for.
