Matt Greenfield: When you've got an on-going relationship, other relationships, inevitability have to be reevaluated, to be put in their place. Uh, and Shinji being where he is, he has to start making choices, and of course in, in Eva, the choi- choices are forced upon him. Uh, more so. then they would be in uh. in real life. But we all know that when you start seriously becoming involved with a member of the opposite sex, or the same sex depending on your uh, predilection, um, the others in your life. start saying uh "Hey, uh I never see you anymore", uh, "Don't call", um, ya know, "What's going on?" ya know, do- do you just severe those relationships? These are the questions that are going through Shinji's head.
