From NGE20 we have a scene where Misato drops off Ritsuko to meet Kaji at a love hotel. However, it's not clear that this is what she's up to from the start. In the prior scene, all Misato says is that she has something to do and can’t have drinks with Ritsuko. Ritsuko's close relationship with Misato allows her to tell the audience what Misato is doing in the final shot, which leads to a scene showing just that. In terms of shot flow, the unique aspect of this scene is that the usual exposition-story-punchline shot has been tweaked by pushing both the story and punchline to the very last scene. Let's break this down. Starting us off is a medium close up (MCU) of a traffic signal telling us the location. We’ve seen this done three posts ago with Eva-01 throwing down a prog knife through magma to Eva-02, as well as in another post which starts off with the CU of the SEELE emblem signifying the location. All three of these serve as a mystery shot to hook us into the subsequent reveal shot. Next is a very wide shot (VWS) which establishes the space and the event of Misato leaving Ritsuko behind. This shot tells us visually what is objectively happening, but it's the next shot that tells us what is emotionally happening with the narrative significance of Misato’s choice. It's in this third shot that we are revealed to where Misato is going. She's not only leaving Ritsuko behind, she's going to see her man once she knows Shinji is safe, as Ritsuko says. Ritsuko's explanation is the final line that leads into and sets up the next scene, as we cut to Misato and Kaji in bed. Editing credit: @watashi_sama (at Kinokuniya New Jersey)
