025 | Video

[Accidental videos don't happen to Rei often. She makes sure of that by keeping her device in a drawer unless she wants to use it.

Today, though, the device is sitting on what stands in for her dresser, recording Rei at an odd angle as she looks into the mirror above the dresser. She unfolds and puts on a broken, somewhat warped pair of glasses, looking at her reflection.

Though it's hard to see from that angle, words begin to appear in red on her mirror as she looks on.]

THEY DON'T SUIT YOU.

[Rei's expression doesn't change. She picks up the device and smacks it against the mirror. Her hand obscures the camera, but there's a crack and subsequent sound of tinkling glass before the feed goes out.]

Someone was spying on you?

From the other side. [Rei indicates the mirror on the wall, which is already repairing itself.]

Oh.

Yours or someone else's?

Mine. I think.

She sounds like a bitch.

She does not like Commander Ikari.

Who's that?

The leader of Nerv.

I'm guessing you like him?

Less than before.

You got pretty upset about her not liking him, though.

...Yes.

What was he to you?

I exist because of him.

...Oh.

So he's kind of like...your dad?

...Kind of.

Guess I can see why she pissed you off.

But, you know, they aren't even totally real, right?

So...just ignore her.

Why isn't she real?

Aren't mirrors like, fake?

They live and die.

[Wince. Sore spot.]

Yeah...point.

But as long as we're not having one of those lame events, we're basically not bothered by them, right?

Just...cover your mirrors, I guess?

Okay.

Let me know if something like this happens again.

What will you do?

Talk to her, I guess?

Talk to you, at least...
