Thanks mate.
EVA is built on miscommunication. If Noriko managed to talk with Kawaoru, she'd probably get enough information to figure out just what's happened to her.... and might be able to deal with it as she is now. The problem with Noriko following it up, is that Kawaoru will go 'Huh?' at the alternate timeline bit, and that'd make things too obvious too quickly. It'd kill the rest of the story if Noriko found out the truth, and ruin some really nice stuff I have coming up later in the fic, after Areal. It's one of the big moments planned and about the only one that survived from when I started writing this thing. I'm really being careful about it, because I got to be careful not to make it too obvious to the reader, and then Noriko just looks like a moron as she either doesn't see it or refuses to believe it.
It's also why she didn't try log in to that 'pop-culture wiki' using her old handle.... it'd blow the lid off the mystery far too soon. I'm dancing a tightrope on it, trying to keep it from being a wallbanger.
Angelic Marvin's make me lol greatly, you're pretty much bang on with it being tired of the cyclic nature of the universe, so he's given up fighting because he never wins, and joined Kawaoru's side. He can't choose not to fight, so he just doesn't give two sods and puts up as little fight as he can. However, Sahaquiel, has learned quite a bit from previous iterations, and might have a way to win.
I'm glad you liked it though. I still have to start part 12, (Noriko ended up in a completely different psychological place than I expected. But depending on things, I'll email you when it's well underway. I post work in progress stuff on TFF and Spacebattles though.
