It all goes wrong at once. At first, Asuka seems to be successfully holding the wave of crystaline people back, but she sees a familiar face, she hesitates at just the wrong instant. Her screech of pain and betrayal can be heard, even over the din of battle.

There are far too many of the figures around her, as she just seems to stop fighting. Similar to what everyone else has seen, she has seen someone familiar, and it is too much for her. Her voice begins to beg, "Look at me, Kaji! Look at me!"

And then it is cut off. One of the figures has Asuka around the throat, cold eyes stare into hers as it throttles her. Finally, with a wet snap, Asuka collapses to the floor.
