Can't think of anyone, so I'd probably get the default Rei-tachi.

Hey guys, let's not just throw out what seem to others like random words. Tell us why! Share some memories about your dog, etc!

Well, let's see. When you tang, you see the person that you wanted to be the closest with during your life. If we're strictly sticking to IRL, then this person would be, at my time of typing this, my friend Samantha. We've known each other since we were both five, and have somehow miraculously managed to stay in the same area with each other. Sadly, she's moving away. Even though we were in the same area for so long, we never really hung out enough. In that regard, she's the one who's coming to collect me for the tang.

If we open up the vault to 2D, then it definitely boils down to either Rei or Asuka. Actually, thinking about it, definitely Asuka. Thinking about all the crap she went through in the TV series, it honestly sometimes does make me wish that I had been there to be of some help. So that's the reason behind Asuka.

My sister, because she is the person I care about above all others, and I trust her the most.
If it wasn't her, it would be Marcus Aurelius, because he represents serenity and (ἀγάπη) love to me. As well as acceptance of destiny... I would be manipulated into accepting Instrumentality by his false presence...

On an oneiromantic basis, it'd be the girl who punched my V-card -- she emerges from my subconscious on a regular basis, still looking about 20, more than any other identifiable person, even though I've not seen her in the flesh since student days.

Probably one of my three best friends, or my dog and my cat. I relate to my pets a lot better than to people.

If 2D, probably Kaworu or Eva-02 (I like it very much, okay?). Actually, Kaworu in Eva-02 sounds about right.

Perhaps my best friend/crush from my school days? Or my mom and brother, simply because we get along a lot?

Of course, if I spotted a transistion Rei, I would tell her not to bother with transforming since she's pretty just the way she is... XD

Undoubtedly mine would be a particular fleeting romance from my college days. Nobody before or since has left a mark on me quite like that mischievous little firebrand did. Unfortunately a combination of me paying attention to the wrong thing at the wrong time and her unresolved family/childhood traumas brought it all crashing down far too soon.

She was WAY out of my league though, so it was probably only a matter of time regardless. ;)

Uh... Wow... I'd name a couple of characters you and her remind me of based on how you phrased all this but I think the parallels are so obvious I don't even need to. Wait, have you talked about this girl before?

I would see myself.
No, I am joking. Perhaps I would see one of the many people I have unintentionally annoyed over the years.

I have, on rare occasions. There's a poem I wrote about the situation floating around somewhere. Not sure if it's come up elsewhere, or if so in what context. :shrug:

Well, I've had crushes on several people but I don't think there's a particular one person who I really want to see before I tang. That is to say I'm not sure if there is one person who I love as much as Maya loves Ritsuko or Hyuuga loves Misato. So I'll probably end up with a Rei hoarde like Aoba.

Wait... wouldn't that mean you've both had crushes on someone since you were 9? :cringe:

I know they say kids mature fast these days but that's a bit unsettling.

Can you be tanged by nobody? I suppose if I was really undeserving then I would get nobody as well, I'd be waiting for someone to come but would just get liquified out of the blue.

Well yeah, it started out as a childhood crush. I guess I never grew out of it. It would have helped if she hadn't turned out to be one of the more decent girls in my school....
