[Kaworu comes to the screen with a kind and gentle smile.]

Hello. I'm looking for a piano or a violin. I'm not sure where I can find one; not to buy - I simply wish to play for a while.

[and now that is out of the way, he wishes to ask something else]

I do have another question. Are you happy?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[oh.

but. he doesn't know how to cook.

or do anything actually.

kaworu is just going to do trial-error]

Am I impolite? [because that's a lot more important than the rest ok]

You're -- intimate. With strangers, you have to wait until they give you permission to ask about certain things. Talk about them.

Intimate? [a pause] Why?

[ How to explain this in Kaworu-friendly terms... ]

People... don't like to talk about their feelings in such a way that it can't be taken back after. If they're disliked for it. It's so you can be - polite. You don't say everything on your mind until you're sure it will be well received.

You're asking questions that won't take a vague answer. And they don't even know you.

Though it's fine if I'm disliked.

They don't have to answer; they are free not to.

It's more the fear that they'll be the ones disliked. Can't you... can't you ask simpler things, at first? Their names. Their - ahhh. Their... favourite desserts?

They shouldn't feel disliked for something they feel. They shouldn't be ashamed of themselves. [btw, that includes you, Shinji]

What's your favorite dessert? [ ah! ]

[ ............oh, for -- ]

You can skip that with me.

Though I don't know that about you.

It's fine. You know everything else. I'll keep that to myself.

No, I don't. There is a lot I still would like to learn.

What... sort of thing?

What makes you happy.

[ mumbled, this time petulantly - ]

What makes you happy?

Meeting you. Music. The moon. The sunset. Talking to other people.

That's everything you've done.

And it made me happy. Still does.

...I'm -- envious.

Why?

Because you can find happiness in any situation.

[ a pause ]

Life is what you decide you want it to be, Shinji-kun. It's your truth and your choice.

That truth is formed by a vision of the world, formed by information one collects to protect themselves that was given by other people or by their own experiences. But you see, the view of the world one can have is quite small because one measures things only by one's own small measures.

But if your view and position change, the mind also will. Your truth can be changed simply by the way you accept it. It's hard, specially at first, but doable.

That is why, the small things are also important.

Things like a favorite dessert.

- can't. Follow. I don't understand any of that. Any of what you're saying. You talk too much. You always talk too much.

Pudding. I don't mind - pudding.

[ yes. yes he does.

he also doesn't bother explaining things either. ]

I don't know what it tastes like, but I will try to find some to taste. [ and maybe learn how to do it. ]

You don't have to like everything I like.

I didn't say I was going to like it. I said I would like to try it.

There are many things I don't know. I need to start somewhere.
