Who am I?
- Ayanami Rei.
- And who are you?
- Ayanami Rei.
"Are you Ayanami Rei too?"
- Yes. I am the one who is known as Ayanami Rei.
- We are all those who are known as Ayanami Rei.
How can they all be me?
"Just because others call us Rei Ayanami." That's all. Your soul is not real, and your body is a fake. Do you know why?
- I'm not a fake or a fake. I am me.
"No, you're just a shell with a fake soul created by a man named Gendo Ikari." You're just something pretending to be human. Here, listen to yourself. Do you feel that elusive, almost indistinguishable essence hidden in your darkest dreams? That is what you are.
- I am me. I became myself through connections and relationships with other people. I was made to connect with people. They create me, I create them. These relationships and connections determine the feelings of my soul and my mind.
