Rei had taken quite a long time to prepare for her challenge. Comparatively speaking, of course. The Ice bucket challenges were often at a limit of 24 hours. Rei had been doing her research and preparation for almost a week now.

There'd been some flak when Asuka's video went viral. This NEW challenge was not seen highly by some in comparison with the other such charity challenges. Her wishes, given there was video evidence of it all, were followed and she, in the end, made a large contribution to charity, but at a loss of a NERV pilot. Shinji was dismissed as just having been forced to follow her lead, though no one was sure quite how the three, orchestrated by Asuka of course, had gotten the 01, the barrel of acid, and everything else ready for the Snuff Challenge video. Rei had been briefed and questioned about how serious she took this challenge, but they let her go, in the end, as well, thinking that the shrieks of ... whatever they were that ... whatever had been Asuka let out in... its death throes would be enough of a deterrent.
