 If it were another Rei, how could she dissapear so quickly? And why would
Gendo send her into the middle of a battle that the Evas weren't even
fighting in yet?
	I think it's a premonition of her... or perhaps it is the
phenomenon of hallucinating a traveling companion when moving under
duress.... or perhaps Shinji is like the apostles on the road to Emmaus...
(in the story where Jesus walks alongside them, but they do not know it is
him.)

 A state of grace, a state of sin.
 Standing on the outside, looking in.
 I cannot feel a single thing.
 But the feeling will come back to me."
