>>3636585From what I've seen, they basically believe the following
-Kensuke is just a father figure
-There's no way Kensuke took advantage of Asuka because he's a nice guy, not a lolicon
-While Kensuke and Mari are important people in Asuka's life, they never got too close to her because otherwise Asuka wouldn't have said she was always alone and would always be alone
-Asuka still loves Shinji because... Asuka follows Shinji to make sure he's okay, Asuka covers her dss choker because she knows it hurts Shinji, Asuka blushed after Shinji confessed to her
-Asuka misses Shinji's scent and uses his sheets to cover herself
-Nip asushins quote this one interview where Anno said his characters don't always say what they truly mean, and use it as proof that Asuka and Shinji were lying and that they still liked each other
-Asuka lied about being over Shinji because she still blushed at Shinji's confession
-Shinji lied about not feeling lonely after Asuka was gone
-Shinji lied and said he liked Asuka in the past because he was going to sacrifice himself and didn't want Asuka to have regrets
-Kaworu asked Shinji if he would be lonely after Asuka was gone, that means Kaworu, with all his cycles knowledge, knows Asuka is very important to Shinji
-Shinji said he wanted to help "Asuka and everyone else". Asuka is his priority.
-Shinji was Kensuke in Asuka's instrumentality. Kensuke calls Asuka by her last name while Shinji does it by her first name. The real Kensuke would've called her Shikinami, not Asuka.
-The only one who can complement Asuka's heart is Shinji
-Mari knows Asuka likes Shinji, she wouldn't steal him away from her
-Mari is taking Shinji back to the village to meet everyone again. He will meet Asuka and get together with her.
