Oh Hey! New chapter up!
Must say again, really enjoying this one. And I echo what Acyl said - the angst level is just about right. I mean, she (and definitely SHE) is on the knife's edge. But most of her decisions make sense in context.
The one thing I'm not quite sure of is her near irrational hatred of Kaworu. I mean, I get it, yeah. But why doesn't she avail herself of the opportunity to actually TALK with an angel and get more of the whole picture? I mean, if she's going to try and prevent 3rd Impact she could sure use the "enemy" inside information. You did good with her in the Entry Plug when he was there. And I'm fascinated by the little tidbits of him NOT being "perfect" (getting banged up and then seemingly confused by pain) that you showed.
And the bit where he doesn't seem to even be aware that someone ELSE is in there and that it's not just Noriko he saved - THAT I want to see followed up on. As in - **YOINK** "C'mere you, were going somewhere private for a few hours and you're going to EXPLAIN YOURSELF and this whole business with the angels and with yanking me from an alternate timeline!!!" If he goes "Huh?" at the alternate timeline bit, that will be VERY interesting.
Also - his comment that Material WANTED to die, puts an interesting spin on the whole "weakest Angel attack" of the series. Almost as if the 9th Angel was as reluctant to destroy humanity as Kaworu is. But doesn't have the option of being in a human shell. So just makes a "going through the motions" attack so as to just get it over with. Or maybe - is just plain tired of the whole cyclic nature of the universe and doesn't see the point. (A suicidally depressed angel? How... Evangelion of you. ^_^ Now I'm hearing Material's voice in my head and it sounds like Marvin the Paranoid android. "Life... don't talk to me about life..." ;D)
Anyway. Looking forward to more.

(PS - And if you want to drop me a line I'd still be happy to pre-read. Bob can probably vouch that I can ask some pretty interesting questions. And the way my twisted mind works, I come up with some decidedly odd tangents at times from free association. (See here and here for examples.) ^_^)
