Oh yeah, that post, 'laughing'. I can't find a NERV insignia on Shinji's plug-suit apart from the ALPHA symbol on his back, so who's to know. The only real reason I said that was to see Misato's (and WILLE's) reaction to the news Asuka tells her over the comm from the LILIN settlement before WILLE picks her up.
Also as for the debrief, Shinji tells Rei Q everything he knows, Asuka takes her to the WUNDER, leaves Shinji behind and they debrief Rei Q instead.
Just remember, Asuka made a plea to Shinji in space to do something, he responded and saved her life. Maybe in an act of honour, Asuka will let him go to make up for it, but on the scale of the damage he's already caused, that's incredibly doubtful.
This is just an out there idea, if anyone's feeling hungry to rip this idea apart to the bone, dig in.
I watch and speculate.
