I know. I'm slow.

I'm not really fond of the idea (actually, I'm not reall fond of the way things
turned out, Lilith's soul in Rei and so on, after the series was completed), but
I'm not completely against it. Since I like to entertain more than one
possibility at the same time, I'm scooping around what can sustain the other
one, that which interprets "adam to onaji" as "we, like Adam, are from Lilith".
In general, liner notes always using "maybe", "perhaps" and so on, there is
always room to decide that they really didn't have a clue themselves and were
trying to patch things out.

But, if you were to say that they are same as sources of life, it would not.

I don't mean to say that she was created following Seele's plan, but I speculate
that she may be part of it anyway, after all, for what we know the SDSS are a
prediction, and the schedule is an adaptation of events to that prediction.
