Rei turns on her heel and walks downstairs. Shinji is still in shock. After a moment he touches his cheek and watches Rei go.
NemZ: So I suppose that confirms that Shinji is left handed?
thewayneiac: Looks that way. He also swipes the card with his left hand in Cut 244.
NemZ: The left hand is considered symbolic in Kabbalah and Jungian psychology of (amongst other things) passivity, the unconscious, the moon, and justice. It is thus perhaps no coincidence that in the licensed Eva tarot deck Shinji is depicted on the Justice card.
EvangelionFan: And now he touches his face with the hand that touched Rei's boob that was also the hand that he stared at intently after Unit-01's corresponding arm was broken by Sachiel that was also the corresponding hand that was burnt by Shamshel in Episode 03 and the same hand that Shinji holds the phone with when we first see him in Episode 01. Conundrum, Conundrums!
