The Yui situation is a complicated one. Her conversation with Fuyutsuki at 
the Ashinoko levee seems to imply (rather subtly) that Yui had been 
blacklisted by Seele and liable to get shot in the back at any time. Hence 
why she volunteers herself as a test subject and apparently pushes the 
Contact Experiment forward with great haste (EVA-01 hadn't even been 
separated from Lilith yet, and the core wasn't prepared for entry plug 
accomodation until the day of). She would have been an absentee mother 
either way, and made the best she could of a bad situation. If all this was 
the case, I kinda wonder why Fuyutsuki didn't look out for Shinji when Gendo 
flaked out, considering his worship of "Yui-kun". Then, maybe his own little 
issues could account for that...
