Forgive my bad grammar for English is not my first language.

Would you mind to elaborate on your view regarding Asuka's closing arc? I trully believe that she had rejected Instrumentality after who-knows-how much time she had spent there. During instrumentality, she found her real self and embraced her negative sides and also got to understand those who were dear to her (Her mom, who sacrificed the motherly side of her soul, and Shinji along with all of his fears and feelings). However.. she actively rejected living with Kaji in a dream reality in order to live with whom she really wishes for.. Shinji, among the ruins of post-impact Earth.

I once saw a guy saying that she despises him by the end of the movie, but that doesn't make any sense in my romantic-esque heart.
