** After Unit-02 escapes from Leliel and NERV recovers the Entry Plug, Misato checks inside and gives Asuka a big hug. Asuka is surprised that Misato was so worried about her, but doesn't object. She also tells Shinji (who was nearby with Rei) "I just wanted to see you again" in a way that sounds like she's talking to Misato, but Shinji understands that Asuka meant it for him.
** Later, in the hospital, Rei ruminates to Asuka that the Children have protected each other in battle time and again, asking if she will protect Asuka or vice versa next time. This surprises Asuka, as she doesn't get along with Rei.

You have to hear what she's not saying out loud. You can't just let your fears or feeling like you're not worth her stop you, or you'll never know that she feels the same way. And then you have to be worthy of her. [...] 'You have to take that first step, or nothing will change.' Misato-san told me that. You should listen to her, Kaji-san.
