That's why I hope FINAL will give us some answers about what exactly happened 14 years, because yes accepting that one's actions weren't the best and take responsibility for it is important, but first we need to know
what exactly those actions and their subsequent effect were!
Everything has it's price, by saving the one you care about and let others die or the other way around. This actually happened in 2.0 despite that Rei is now a part of Unit-1. I actually couldn't understand too how Shinji could initiate 3I while being impaled with the Cassius-Lance.
I have another theory:
Probably a undefined time later, the 12th Angel paid it's visit to Terminal Dogma.
To stop this angel from merging with Lilith, they needed an active Eva (Mark 6) and both lances (Longinus and Cassius). The trickiest thing was they had only one copy from each lance.
So they had to remove the Cassius-Lance from Unit-1. After removing the lance from Unit-1, it seemed not active at first.
After the battle with the angel and Mark 6 being its vessel through having impaled itself with the lances, Unit-1 became active and 3I was about to happen.
But then again there would be more logic issues.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.
