- Who am I?
- Ayanami Rei
- Who are you?
- Ayanami Rei
- Are you Ayanami Rei too?
- Yes. I'm the one known as Ayanami Rei.
- We're all those who are known as Ayanami Rei.
- How can they all be me?
- Just because others call us Ayanami Rei. That's all. You have a fake soul and your body is a fake. Do you know why?
- I'm not fake or 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. Feel that elusive, almost indistinguishable entity hidden in your darkest dreams? That is what you are
- I am me. I became me through connections and relationships with other people. I am created by my interactions with people. They create me, I create them. These relationships and connections define the feelings of my soul and my mind.
- Yes. That's what connects me to the creator of the creature named Ayanami Rei. It's what will always define my self.
- However, there is something else that possesses your true self. You don't know her, you don't want to know her, and you try to hide this side of your true self
- Because it might not have a human form, because your identity might disappear.
- Become nothing, that's what scares you. You're afraid of disappearing from other people's minds because there's another you.
- I'm afraid? Why would I be?
- Because your identity will disappear.
- Because you'll cease to exist.
- No. I'm happy. That's exactly what I want. Death, despair.
