"I wish I could come back and see you grow up, but I can't. I just want you to know that I love you so much, and I will always be with you even in death. Also, I have a gift for you, the only gift I have left to give. You have to go back now, back to the people in the real world. You won't remember any of this, but you will remember the important things. You'll remember how much I love you, and how things were before I was taken. I hope you get to have that family you so yearn for with Asuka, and maybe my final gift will help you deal with things that will come soon." Yui had problems finishing what she had to say to her son. She knew when they pulled him out that she would once again be confined to the back of his mind, to only see him through his own eyes. She then decided to alter her plans a bit

"I don't want to leave you again," Shinji said, trying to hold back his tears. He had just found her again; he didn't want to lose her now.

"We don't have a choice, and I will always be with you. I want you to grow up and have a very good life out there. This war will be over eventually, and you will have the chance to do anything you want. Anywhere can be heaven so long as you're happy. Just remember that what ever you do, where ever you go, I will always be proud of you my son." With that she kissed him on his forehead, then hugged him one last time. The world around them began to dissolve, and all that was left was blackness.

It had been a long procedure, and it had looked as if Shinji wouldn't make it through this time, but once again the Third Child had beaten the odds and had survived his ordeal with little more then a stay in the hospital. Ritsuko had taken blood and tissue samples to see if there had been any adverse effects to his stay within Unit-01. She was going over the reports from those tests when something caught her eyes. The genetic sequencing report held a startling revelation for the good doctor. She had had the test run to see if the reconstruction of Shinji's body had caused any damage to his DNA, since they had rebuilt him from the cellular level. She hadn't expected what she found in this report though. Shinji's DNA had been completely jumbled and resequenced, to where it almost didn't look like his. Ritsuko turned to her terminal and began entering commands.

-COMPARE DNA SAMPLE LABLED A358B22 TO SAMPLE LABLED A02C32

-DNA ANALYSIS COMPLETE

-SAMPLE A35B22 DEVIATES FROM SAMPLE A02C32 BY 66%

This stunned Ritsuko, Shinji's DNA shouldn't have been that off without some adverse physical effects. If anything he should have shown some change in his physical structure if the genetic level was changed that much. She decided to run another test

-MAGI DNA ANALYSIS

-DISPLAY GENETIC ANCESTORY OF SHINJI IKARI

-GENETIC ANCESTORY: YUI IKARI, MISATO KATSURAGI, RYOJI KAJI

This didn't make sense at all. Shinji should of only had two parents even if his DNA had been altered, and how did Misato and Kaji become those parents. It should have read Gendo and Yui Ikari, but the commander wasn't even mentioned.
