Friendship, I have said, is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself..."
It's very hard not to like the Nosferatu: for all their creeping and skulking, they are so very, earnestly sincere. The younger ones treat me with pity that I don't require; the elders treat me with respect. We play a little game together, a little game of conspiracy. It wasn't my idea or theirs to begin the game, but since the others like to leave both of us out to one side, we started our game for something to do.
—Vampire: The Masquerade - Clanbook: Malkavian (Revised)
The very first time they meet, at school, Rei is reading a book, and Asuka annoys her by blocking her light, remember? The book? Is in German.
Another tragic little hint that Asuka and Rei could easily have been friends. Rei is at the least literate in German, and probably speaks it. Asuka just never asks.

It occurred to him, long after it should have, that he wasn't the only person here who had problems and felt like an outsider. Alice wasn't just the competition, someone whose only purpose in life was to succeed and by doing so subtract from his happiness.

Kayaba: Out of curiosity, Kirito, what gave me away? Or was it your plan to just stab everybody until one of them failed to die?
Kirito: Oh, it was all quite elementary, my good man. For you see, you're the only one I've ever met in this game who makes as many movie references as I do.
Kayaba: Ah, yes. I guess I should have known that would-Wait...You get my references?!
Kirito: Um, yeah? I just remembered you-
Kayaba: "There can only be one?"
Kirito: Oh, uh, Highlander!
Kayaba: "Well, who you gonna believe? Me or your own eyes?"
Kirito: Duck Soup, Marx Brothers, 1933.
Kayaba: "DRY LAND IS NOT A MYTH! I HAVE SEEN IT!"
Kirito: Ah, getting tricky are we? While that line is famously attributed to the 1995 film Water World, it is never actually spoken in the movie.
Kayaba: Hot damn. You're the real deal.

Rogue, we have all suffered loss, we all bear the scars of those terrible experiences. That is what we seven have in common. Out of that shared history comes a common bond.

Sandman: So how'd you end up like that anyway?
Electro: Well... the place where I worked at... they were experimenting with electricity created by living organisms. And then, uh... I fell into a vat of electric eels.
Sandman: You're kidding. I fell into a supercollider.
Electro: Damn. Gotta be careful where you fall.
