Asuka stands before Shinji, her body completely exposed after a nice, hot bath at Kensuke's home, drinking water from a Hishaku bamboo water ladle. Shinji's reaction, however, is unexpected. Instead of embarrassment or desire, his expression remains completely unchanged, his gaze fixated on her DSS Choker alone. Asuka notices his horror-stricken face, contorted in shock and nausea, but she doesn't seem to care in the slightest.

Rather than trying to empathize or show any sign of genuine worry or concern for him at all, Asuka decides to raise her voice in an annoyed, irritated tone about his lack of reaction to her naked body, revealing a narcissistic and selfish side of herself.

"I'm nude. Why aren't you getting all flustered and bothered by me, especially after being absent for 14 years, you stupid, useless brat?" The tone in Asuka's voice and look are both irked and frosty, her eyes locked on Shinji, flashing with coldness and rudeness. Her words drip with harshness and aggression as she awaits his response in a cruel, merciless, ruthless, sarcastic, and impatient manner.

Despite this, Shinji remains completely silent and unchanged, lost in traumatic memories triggered by the sight of the DSS Choker, memories of Kaworu’s death, his head blown off. Asuka is totally unaware of this trauma in his mind, as Kaworu had appeared and left his life so quickly. Shinji’s mind is overwhelmed, as if he is about to vomit from the flood of traumatic memories and emotions.

Seeing that he doesn't move or say anything at all, Asuka suddenly drops the Hishaku bamboo water ladle she is drinking from, expressing her disappointment and annoyance.

"Damn it. Why did Ken-Ken even bother taking this weird, pesky little jerk home with him in the first place?" Asuka mutters in a completely frustrated and annoyed tone.
