That's still some weird stuff. "Shinji is reaching out to the first person
he can find, affirming their existence."
"Aaagh! You stupid redheaded bitch! This is for making fun of me! And this
is for calling my EVA a purple poof! Aaaagh!"

I can understand wanting to strangle Asuka, it's a natural reaction to her
character, I just don't see it happening for quite those reasons. :) From
what they described, some form of embrace would seem the more reasonable
action, not strangling. Maybe Shinji is still dealing with closeness issues.
