And (along with Shinji) "left behind".

What could she have been hoping from him? Hmmmmmm.

For me, the most instructive scene has been this one. We get callbacks to EoE where Gendo plays the role of Rei and Misato plays the role of Gendo, where the implication is first that Misato is expecting something from Gendo... -->

Also note how in Q, right after Kaworu dies, we see 13's lower set of eyes close (LEFT). This suggests that, for each synchronized pilot, one set of eyes open. Top pair maps onto left plug (little alpha), bottom pair maps onto right plug (big alpha).

(1/3) More Eva-02=Lilith. Most notable here is how Eva-02, like Lilith, bloats into a sphere before exploding into LCL. In both cases this happens after Eva-13 unfolds its lower set of arms and pulls a long, thin object (or two) from Eva-02/Lilith's body. #evangelion

Another layer to this parallel: Eva-02's giant light-body is made from Asuka's ATF, and Lilith's AATF seems to be a function of her ATF. Remember Eva-01 using her ATF to neutralize Sachiel's? Lilith is doing the same thing to everyone Earth. Code 999 calls back to the former, as well. (4/5)

Eva-13 begins bound to a red crucifix in a chamber full of amber-colored LCL. Then, with the three cuts of it rising, the sense of deja vu really starts working overtime. In what sense is Eva-13 comparable to EoE's Lilith...? #evangelion #visualparallels

The movement of the 3DCG model for Eva-02 is of course nowhere near as dynamic as the hand(-drawn) animation for Lilith, but do note the similar pose, and how the tip of Eva-02's ring finger cheekily "touches" Maya's head.
