>but she's like 4 and this is before kyoko kills herself,
i don't blame you for not being as autistic about asuka lore as me, but this monkey doll means it was after kyoko's death. her stepmother gave her the monkey. her mother gave her the girly looking doll that post-contact-experiment Kyoko later imprinted on (at Asuka's expense... unrelated but ever wonder why she calls Rei a doll while observing Shinji & Rei interacting?)

that monkey doll was given to her by her stepmother. then she overheard her stepmother talking with her father about how "socially speaking, i'm not her mother and could leave at any time", felt gutwrenchingly betrayed and ripped the doll's head off
