Okay, well obviously first comes my wife, my beloved -

Yuri (Shinome)

Not much is needed to say, as it's obvious she's the one I'd be with

if only given the opportunity, in an instant.

I love you and want you darling

Rei Ayanami, the lonely and numb "doll".

Her loneliness,

The inability to understand her own character and feelings;

The struggle to express herself, and the alienation

that follows her like a stray dog.
