AT field represents the emotional barriers we put up against people. Thats why asuka is the best pilot & is such a b****. she doesn't want to let anybody in. thats also why she wanted to sleep with ryoji because he represents a parental figure to her. it wouldnt be a real relationship with somebody her age like shinji. we want to protect ourselves. Its easy to befriend text it can't touch you, hold you, leave you, hurt you.
but at the core is always love. and once you embrace yourself you become free. and once we die we are all free. but until then, one day I will face life and say I wont lose... to the likes of you!!!
