Interlude Two: Rei's Revelation About Her Revelation
Rei realized, after seeing the Commander and Lt. Ibuki "sitting" beside her in the hospital room, that she needed more time to think about the emotion she felt towards Dr. Ritsuko Akagi. She laid down on her bed, resting her chin on her arms, and thought. She thought for countless hours into the night, hoping for the answer. The same thought, over and over again, for a very long time.
" Please, Blue Fairy, turn me into a real boy so my mommy will love me again!"
(No, dammit! The other thought!!!)
" What do I feel about Dr. Akagi?"
(That's better...)
" I must think....when I am around Dr. Akagi, I feel unsettled. I feel...anxious. I feel.....I feel.....uh oh."
Rei propped herself up on her elbows.
" No..." she said out loud. She stood up and ran to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. " Oh, shit, you've got to be kidding me...."
She ran back into her bedroom and began searching through drawers. Finally, she found the ID that Asuka had left in the locker room after training one day. And of course, Rei, being a packrat who collects objects such as broken glasses, lost ID's, socks, and Pilot Ikari's used con-(....er...I've said to much.)
ANYWAY, the point is, she saw it and took it. And she took this particular ID and held it out in front of her.
" Ok. Hello, Pilot Sorhyu. Hello, Wondergirl. How are you? I am fine. And you?"
This schizophrenic moment lasted for about thirty seconds. When Rei had finished acting out her...conversation, she blinked several times.
" Uh oh...this complicates matters."
And with those words, she blacked out.
