She asks why Japanese rooms are so small, and that she couldn't get half of her stuff in. Shinji looks over and sees his belongings have been shoved carelessly into a box. Asuka continues saying Japanese have no sense of privacy living in rooms without locks. Misato walks up and says the Japanese way is to consider another's needs before your own. She says that they will get along well together. She explains at a table, with some beer, that the only way to defeat the Angel is to execute simultaneous attack while the Angel is separated. The both of them are going to live together from now on. The next assault begins in six days. She says the attack pattern has been choreographed with music.

She gets up and walks over to the pads. Rei and Shinji have complete synchronization. Misato says that maybe they should just pair Shinji and Rei. Asuka is upset and leaves. Toji says that even the devil can cry. Hikari yells at Shinji to apologize because he made her cry. Shinji walks up to Asuka and she says not to say anything.
