Rei had a last ditch effort come to mind as her hand started to cramp from 'breathing' for her. She let go of the lung and then with the knife, removed them both. She had now hit the last stage as the LCL started becoming much more red and quite a bit cloudy. Her heart was beating like mad as it sucked in LCL and expelled blood into the surrounding fluid. She'd dropped the knife as some point, too, which automatically disengaged as it left her hand. One hand found itself over her heart, the other somewhere on the inside of her groin. Her entire body was clenching into a ball as the blood clouded the waters.

Eventually, as the LCL heated up further, and more gas came out of solution, her body's density made her rise to the top. She seemed to hardly be moving anymore. She was on her back and face up. One hand was still moving slightly as it wrapped around her reproductive organs, the other hand was still around her heart. She was in her last moment of awareness as her face came into view and seemed to be one of pure ecstasy. Her eyes were rolled back, her tongue lay out of her mouth, which was twisted in a grin. A sudden spasm and her limbs flailed a bit as her hands clenched tight on the muscular organs they were wrapped around. Her toes had curled and her head tossed a bit back and forth. She then went still. She was floating alongside her severed ribs and breast, tipple up, of course, while her intestines were strewn about around her like seaweed in this strange fish tank of her own making. Yes, Rei Ayanami had finally gone belly up, and she seemed to have enjoyed her last few moments. Her body shook and spasmed a bit at random as the LCL continued to boil. Then the camera shut off.
