Woman on Intercom C (right):βAll protein walls are in good condition. No problems in any area.β
Cody MacArthur Fett: That was the most (positive) emotion we'll see out of Rei for the entirety of the series, savor it folks.
thewayneiac: I'm glad you added "positive" there. I've got some ammo saved up for later. There's a comment by Quiddity in a couple of scenes where I can use it.
Azathoth: It's interesting that this is about the only time we see Rei and Gendou interacting so casually - they're certainly on better terms with each other than anyone else is, but not a lot of screentime gets devoted to it. Probably because...well, what are they talking about. "So, have I told you how much you look like my dead wife lately?" "Oh, you, Commander! *giggle*"
Additional Commentary
Kendrix: That smile is reserved for quiet, troubled men with pretty blue eyes who saved Rei's life and who Rei would give her own life for.
@ Azathoth: We get to see more of their relationship in 2.22. We should do a commentary on the Rebuilds as well. My favourite scene is the one where we see Gendo next to her tube with a little Chair(implying that he kept her company for a long time), because it sums up their relationship perfectly. Yes, he uses her for experiment-y things/his plans, but he still cares about her as a person/sort-of-daughter.
