For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who, in despite of view, is pleas'd to dote.

Tsubaki: Captain... Hazama...?
Hazama: In the flesh, Lieutenant... and if you're looking for Major Kisaragi, I think I saw him go thataway.
Tsubaki: R-really?!
Hazama: My, my, Tsubaki! You were looking so dour, but the moment I utter the blessed name, you brighten right up. Not much of a poker player, are you?
Tsubaki: P-pardon me, Captain. Really, it's just-
Hazama: Spare me, woman - I wasn't born yesterday. You even took a demotion from First Lieutenant all so you could manage that transfer into Zero and look for him. What's so special about Jin? Sorry, but I just don't see it.

Shinji: "It's just that I'd repressed the memory as thoroughly as possible because I saw my mother die horribly when she tried to synch with it and succeeded a bit too well. Or so everyone thought; if I didn't hallucinate everything between seeing you go down to the Mass-Production Evas and waking up on the beach, she actually did it on purpose so that Unit-01 could become an eternal monument to mankind's existence... or something. I don't know all the details and I'm not sure I want to, especially why she found it necessary to make me watch."
Asuka: Oh.
Shinji: So, yeah, [...] That's the woman my father is planning to cause total human extinction to reunite with. No accounting for taste, I suppose.

I'm not too fond of your date either, Hikari thought. How can you like that guy? He's just a playboy. This is gonna be one big mess. But it gives me an excuse to ask Touji out, so... "Right. I'll talk to Touji as soon as I can."

Why does he like her?
But I'm so so so good
But it's too late now.

Male Student: Arataaa! Dude, you serious...? I didn't think you'd go there, man...

Trunks: I wish I could've...
