i’m screaming that naoko akagi, chief executive scientist slash supercomputer bioengineer, likely 1) met misato and kaji in college, 2) interacted with them in some capacity, and 3) actually enjoyed them as human beings. did misato invite her to a thursday bar crawl? did kaji call her a milf? did naoko find their bumbling idiot comedy routine endearingly hilarious? how fiercely did ritsuko regret her decision to introduce the three? i have a lot of questions
