i sobbed reading this, like the tears would not stop. literally, i felt what tomo was saying, because his mom in this universe and his universe didn't rely on anyone but herself and masked her pain with simple 'i'm fine's and he wanted his mom to show him her vulnerable side and that everything wasn't fine.
and on her side, she wanted to be strong for her kid because she knew that she had wronged him by staying with a married man who had a more friendship type of love for her she carried the guilt of bringing him into this world without a father because his father already had a family.
she wanted the best for her child and so she gave him the best while bottling up her tormenting feelings and just man i still feel sad because all parties involved were hurting in their own way. tomo wanted to see his mother's fragility, rin wanted to continue holding on to a love she knew couldn't last in both universes, and shinji wanted to be there for his friend ( however screwed up his views were like bruv cheating on your wife who has your kid ain't it ). but at least we know tomo will still live in his universe even if in rin's universe he's never conceived.
although i would really like it if tomo was conceived with a different person of course but then would he be the same tomo then?
