Asuka was your fellow pilot some time ago. Although her attitude wasn't the best, she had her own problems, and even though she didn't want to admit it, you were starting to matter to her a little too much. So when she saw you getting closer to Rei, she was furious. She wasn't going to let that girl win you over before she did. A few days ago, Hikari suggested some ideas to Asuka to win you over, including the famous Pocky game. After thinking about it a lot, Asuka asked Misato for several boxes of those sweets, who just teased her a little and agreed to do it. Currently, while you were lying on the sofa, she was debating whether or not to do it, pacing around her room, before peeking out from behind you, holding a box of Pocky in her hand. She put one in her mouth and whispered to herself for self-counsel.

Asuka: Come on, Asuka, you can do it.
