[ Far brighter - ]


...Eva? Kaworu, you saw -- Eva?

[evangelic]

Not quite.

[SORRY TO DASH YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS..]

[extradite]

...oh.

[ De... flating... ]

In any case, Asuka - just. Try to mind her. Please. She's... a girl. It's a man's job to look after a girl's feelings, and you're - you look like - you and I, we have a responsibility towards her. Towards that.

[evangelic]

[As far as Kaworu knows, aside from being an angel -- which is a big, big 'aside', he's been pleasant around her. The way he conducts himself rarely changes for anyone, for better or worse.]

You'd like for me to protect her?

[Especially her heart?]

The Second Child isn't very fond of me. Is that alright?

[extradite]

It's fine. She isn't fond of me either.

[evangelic]

Why is that?

[extradite]

Most people don't like everyone else.

My personality and hers... we're quite unlike. So...

[evangelic]

Weren't you able to form a bond?

[As Eva pilots.]

[extradite]

Do you think it's that easy just because we're from the same species? Not at all. That's when things get more complicated.

[evangelic]

It's because you share a similar goal.

[extradite]

Do we? I don't know her goal. I don't know your goal either.

[evangelic]

Your happiness is most significant to me, Shinji-kun.

[extradite]

...but you don't even know what that is. You're just saying things that don't mean anything.

[evangelic]

It's only meaningless if you're unwilling to cooperate.

[But even that's okay, too.]

[extradite]

Kaworu. What happened last time I cooperated with your wises? You tell me.

[evangelic]

It was necessary then. You're at liberty to do as you please, now.

[extradite]

You must miss that, being able to push my hand so much. It must be terrible for you right now.

[evangelic]

I miss being able to speak with you as often as before. It's terrible, only in that divide.

But I've become a tender memory for you. I apologize, but certain laws prevent me from permanently leaving here.

[extradite]

You don't have to. I'm... sorry. This is going wrong. This is going wrong again.

I didn't call for that. I called - I wanted to - ...you're all right. That's what I wanted to know. To happen.

[evangelic]

I'm alright. You don't need to worry about me, Shinji-kun.

Although, I'd like to spend some time with you again, once you're ready.

[extradite]

...with. Me.

[ (Exactly) a beat. ]

Why? That is... doing what?

[evangelic]

Anything you'd like. Have you been able to visit the fair?

[extradite]

Kaworu. [ Oh so slowly. ] People are dying. It wouldn't be polite to go to a fair when people are dying.

[evangelic]

The Lilin are frail -- it's an often occurrence. You shouldn't hesitate because of it.

[extradite]

...you don't care, do you. If anyone dies - it's the same to you. You wouldn't even notice.
