(W/A/CA) Osamu Takahashi. Is it just an optical illusion* or are Rei and Shinji actually getting closer to one another? Asuka isn't too sure-but one thing you can be sure of is that she'll be giving this perception test a hard stare! And on that note* is Asuka falling victim to the same baka-tivity that afflicts her childhood friend* as she decides to use some of Shinji's "techniques" to help bring Toji and Hikari closer together?
