	Title2	EYECATCH B:“FINALE: Take care of yourself.”
	132	SHINJI (OFF):“Rain...”
	133	SHINJI (OFF):“A depressing mood... It's like the mood I'm in. I don't like it.”
	134	REI (OFF):“Sunset...”
	135	REI (OFF):“Vanishing life... My wish... I don't like it.”
	136	ASUKA (OFF):“Morning...”
	137	ASUKA (OFF):“The start of today... The start of an unpleasant day... I don't like it.”
	138	SHINJI (OFF):“The blue sky...”
	139	SHINJI (OFF):“Something warm... Something I'm not used to... Something frightening...”	UrsusArctos: Only Shinji could find blue skies and warm sunshine frightening.
	140	SHINJI (OFF):“Something that's not needed... I don't like it.”
	141	ASUKA (OFF):“Everyone! I just hate everyone!”
	142
	145	MISATO:“What do you desire?”
	143	TEXT:“"Are you afraid of being insecure?"”
	146	ASUKA:“What do you want?”
	144	TEXT:“"Do you want peace of mind?"”
	147	REI:“What do you seek?”
	148	TEXT:“"Don't hate me!"”
	149	ASUKA (OFF):“Don't hate me!”
	150	SHINJI:“What I'm afraid of is...”
	151	TEXT:“Rejection”
	152	REI:“What I want is...”
	153	TEXT:“To connect and to be recognized”
	154	SHINJI (OFF):“Is it okay if I stick around?” REI (OFF):“Is it okay if I stay here?” ASUKA (OFF):“Do you love me?”
	155	TEXT:“"Do you love"”
	156	TEXT:“"your mother?"”
	157	ASUKA:“Do you want to go to your mom?” ASUKA:“No, I don't want to.”	Dr. Nick: It seems to me these two cuts(157-158) could spell out why Shinji and Asuka where the first two individuals in EoE to rematerialize from the soup. Was it partly driven by their rejection of a hated parent, now also in the soup? Does the confusing state of partial mind-meld persist in the sea of LCL?
	158	SHINJI:“Aren't you going to go to your father?” SHINJI:“No, I don't want to.”
	159	REI:“Why not?”
	160	TEXT:“Because I'm afraid”
	161	SHINJI (OFF):“Because I'm afraid he'll hate me.”
	162	ASUKA (OFF):“Because I might cease to be me.”
	163	TEXT:“"So?"”
	164	MISATO:“What do you desire?”
	166	TEXT:“A resolution to the insecurity”
	165	REI:“What do you seek?”
	167	TEXT:“A resolution to the loneliness”
	168	YUI:“You're not happy, are you?”
	169	SHINJI:“I want something before that.”
	170	SHINJI:“I want to be worth something.”
	171	SHINJI:“Worth enough so no one will abandon me, so they'll care about me.”
	172	TEXT:“"I want to be worth something"”
	173	YUI:“Only you can find”
	174	YUI:“your own worth.”
	175	TEXT:“That's why you pilot the Eva”
	176	SHINJI:“I'm worthless.”
	177	ASUKA:“My life isn't worth enough to live.”
	178	REIS:“Then, what are you?”
	179	SHINJI:“Then, what am I?”
	180	SHINJI:“What am I?!”
	181	SHINJI:“This is...”	UrsusArctos: Shinji really does resemble a younger version of his father in shots like these, and I wonder if that's intentional here.
