[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?

[extradite]

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

audio;

[5thchild]

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

audio;

[extradite]

What... sort of thing?

audio;

[5thchild]

What makes you happy.

audio;

[extradite]

[ mumbled, this time petulantly - ]

What makes you happy?

audio;

[5thchild]

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

audio;

[extradite]

That's everything you've done.

audio;

[5thchild]

And it made me happy. Still does.

audio;

[extradite]

...I'm -- envious.

audio;

[5thchild]

Why?

audio;

[extradite]

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.

audio;

[5thchild]

[ 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. ]

audio;

[extradite]

You don't have to like everything I like.

audio;

[5thchild]

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.

audio;

[extradite]

Start with learning what questions not to ask so to not agitate people. Start there.

audio;

[5thchild]

What one may find inappropriate, others are fine with it. It's quite difficult to tell, with the Lilim. But none of them have to answer my questions if they don't wish to.

audio;

[extradite]

...Kaworu. May I ask you something inappropriate?

audio;

[5thchild]

Of course.

audio;

[extradite]

What... happens to it? Without me. Without me there to touch it. Without me there to -- Eva. My Eva. My Evangelion. Does it... die?

audio;

[5thchild]

While humans can only live on a planet like Earth, Eva can live anywhere along with the heart of the person inside it. It will exist even if the Earth, Moon and the Sun are lost.

Even if it lives alone.

audio;

[extradite]

[ let records show that, for all it's unseen, the smile is there. ]


...good. That's good.

audio;

[5thchild]

I'm glad you are happy.

audio;

[extradite]

Of course I am. Who'd want someone to die because of them?
