"It's only one of her clones for the dummy plug system...
Ritsuko told me think of her like an animated doll, but..."

I looked at the 'object' I'd been ordered to take home from NERV HQ.
Before me sat Rei Ayanami.
Well, one of her clones anyways. NERV produces them to be the "brains" inside the dummyplug autopilot system for the Eva's ...that bastard even called these clones "spare Rei's".
And now He orders me to take one home and teach it how to think less 'machinelike' ...all so the Eva's will be even MORE efficiant weapons.

I felt my gaze being drawn to the twin crimson pools of her eyes.
Red, but not hot like fire or lava, not like Asuka.
Rei's are...warm red, like ...blood, like looking at the sun through your eyelids.
~shiver~

I gingerly raise her chin with two fingers. The clone tenses slightly at my touch but remains expressionless.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you."
I wonder to myself if this clone can even feel fear. I almost don't WANT to make her more human. To make her feel pain or loneliness again, like I do...or like the real Rei does.

"You are so beautiful Rei, like that painting of Venus...or Eve, before the fall."
I watch as my fingers brush a lock of her short blue bobcut aside...
"Your hair is always so delibrately unkempt."
A couple strands of clearest blue sky slide between my fingers...
"You never wear make up like the other girls in class."
I gently trace a line beneath her eye and then down her cheek.
"...and your skin is like...milk."

I let my finger follow the liquidlike curve of her neck down to the angular ripple of her collarbone.
The clones seemingly emotionless eyes follow my fingers intently, I realize for the first time that this Rei 'doll' would unquestioningly obey ANY order I gave it...

But then, I'd be just like Commander Ikari...

~SO!~
" ...Lets get you dressed then. I can't have you walking around here like that. Dr. Akagi gave me fresh uniforms and some unit-00 plug suits...i'll just leave them here for you. I'm going to go brew some tea and make us dinner ok?"

Rei calmly stands and walks nonchalantly over to the dresser. I find myself unable to resist admiring her sculpturelike grace. Like creamy alabaster or liquid marble...only alive.
The muscles of her calves tensing with each soft tap of her bare feet against the tile floor.
I force myself to avert my eyes.

"Arn't you...umm embarressed to stand there like that?" I ask.
A feeble attempt to cover my own shame for admiring her.

"Why...should I be?"

The clones voice was identical to Rei's real voice, but it wasn't just the tone...no, it was the WAY she spoke.
I wondered at her simple question too...
'should I be?'

...My eyes are drawn back to her as she picks up the Tokyo-3 school uniform in one hand and her plug suit in the other.

"I...KNOW... these, this blue one with the red ribbon is for school...and this smooth white one with two black stripes is for piloting unit00...for work right?...why do we work for NERV Shinji?"

She turned to me, holding the unopened plug suit in her hand, I couldn't help but notice how the NERV logo (a red fig leaf) on the package was her only covering at the moment.
Pure, ignorant of sin or shame...like Eve in the garden.
"I...umm, because well...we have to destroy the angels, we're the only ones who can pilot the Eva's and save Tokyo-3." The words sounded like lies coming out of my mouth as well, just like they had when Ritsuko had spoken them to me.
"Don't worry about work yet Rei, there are alot more important things you need to 'remember' first...just get dressed and come have some dinner for now."

"Yes...this one hasn't eaten anything yet, has she?"

The question both frightened and fascinated me, I was tempted to ask if she knew which "one" she was...the Rei that sacrificed herself to save me from the 16th angel had said,

'I think...i must be the 3rd one.'

Does this one remember that? Is she even the same person...
"Rei...I...uh, I think I might be fal...err I mean, I...umm want to thank you...you know, for saving me. A-anyways... i'll be in the kitchen."
I notice my hand trembling as I slide her door closed and lean against the wall outside.
...How much do they remember.
...Does this one remember me admitting i was afraid to die when we fought the 5th angel together?
Does she remember telling me...

'You won't die. Because I'll be protecting you.'

I draw a shakey breath, trying to get control of my chaotic emotions...i think this time it might be up to ME to protect HER...
