Shinji: What happened? Last thing I remember was saving Rei from the Angel.
Everyone: Oh, did we not tell you Rei Plus Unit-01 Equals Doomsday?
Shinji: No, you did not.
Everyone: It was common knowledge that we all knew. Fuck you, you doomed the world.
Shinji: You probably should have put a warning label on Unit-01.
Everyone: Nah, easier to blame the fourteen year old for showing some initiative.
Shinji ...Did I at least save Rei?
Everyone: No, and fuck you again.
