[to be honest, Asuka hasn't really had a family in her maelstrom of a life. Misato came close... once. And that was a long time ago. She's Captain Katsuragi now.
If it could be claimed she had attachments to anyone it would be the crew. The survivors. The ex-NERV staff who'd turned traitor on their own organisation. They'd fought bitterly alongside each other for 14 years and more; no-one could understand each other better. No-one else could match their shared joys and sorrows.
...And then there was Mari who had even more in common, but We Don't Talk About Mari.
Still, as an Evangelion pilot - one of the two remaining not actually trying to get humanity killed - she knew the weight of her own life. The absolute adoration and care this woman held was... frankly?
Scary. Creepy. Crazy.
You had to take of yourself. You had to trust your friends to take care of themselves. Everyone had to survive as best they could. That was how the world worked. Sacrificing things for other people... everyone had found the hard way what that lead to. It was just plain unhealthy.
Asuka can only sigh.]
Well, they aren't here. You're going to have to life with it.
