Maybe. Maybe. She's going to have to come considerably further out of her shell before we go that far.

[I suppose, before I speak, which Rei are we talking about here, Rei II or Rei III?
Either one, really, but . . .
Is Rei's closed-mouth and strange outlook on life the fact that she's had a very f**cked up childhood
Or that she is very much aware of what she is and why she's here and as well as having a very *alien* outlook on life?
Rei obviously feels *something* for Gendo, and later shinji. affection, love, whichever.
But that does not mean that she has a human outlook on life. At various points in the series, we get little rei monologues and they are very . . . calm, slightly disconnected, and strange. It is obvious, to me at least, that Rei could communicate consciouly with Shinji in his subconscious subway (i.e. the train of author-wanking) in that episode after unit 01 nearly kills touji.
So is there, with Rei, anything TO fix? Is she one of the walking broken, as the others are?
