09. Nonus | Video

[ Kaworu shows up to the network with his familiar smile. What isn’t familiar, it’s his plugsuit and the headset (it’s better than showing up naked). He is currently in front of the castle, which means he is back from his canon update. ]

Hello. I have been in Asgard before, but I’m not sure how long it has been since I left. [ or who is around ] I’m still in Sigyn House and I still have my healing power. [ since he can’t grow anything, by exclusion, he gets the Healing ]

[ there is a pause, as he looks around, perhaps trying to figure out where to go. In the end, he heads towards Odin District, turning to the bracelet one last time and smiling brightly ] It’s good to be back.

[ he does like this place, a lot. And with a smile, he finally turns off the video ]

No, I'm not.

[She's silent for a few moments, needing the time for it to really sink in. Dead. Kaworu went home and died.

When she speaks again her tone is soft.]

H... how?

[ however, kaworu's tone is the same. He doesn't seem affected at all about this. ]

Shinji-kun killed me. He used his Evangelion to crush my body.

[ and before she gets the wrong idea ] I was the one asking him to do it.

[How do you even react to that? Shinji's a... he's a puppy, he couldn't kill anyone even if he wanted to.]

Wh... why?? You can't be serious! Shinji??

[ actually, he killed all of Kaworu's siblings ]

Yes, Shinji Ikari-kun.

But - Shinji? He's just a kid! And so are you! [Even if he mentioned being an angel before, she can't think of him any other way.]

I know he is a child. And I do know this body is of a child as well.

All Evangelion pilots are.

[She's having so much trouble understanding this. She has so many questions, and she feels like she needs to yell at someone for putting kids in situations where they kill each other.]

Wh... why?

[ Euri. It gets worse. ]

The Evangelion units hold the soul of the pilot's mother inside of them. Only their children can pilot them.

... What's an 'Evangelion'?

Some would call it a machine. However, no. Evangelions are living organic creatures with machine components grafted onto them, a cyborg.

They are giant humans, if you wish to call them that, and are imbued with the soul of the pilot's mother.

.... [Giant human monsters with a soul jammed in, and the child of that soul having to control it?]

Th... that's so messed up.

I don't know. I don't understand Lilim enough to understand their reasons.

But I suppose the main one was "they wanted a future".

What do you mean? What's that got to do with any of this?

They used the Evangelions to fight my kind.

... Were you trying to kill them all?

While it wasn't our primary objective, we would bring upon Lilim destruction, yes.

What was your primary objective, then...?

We wanted to join Adam, the mother of all Angels. By doing so, we would initiate a process called "Third Impact" and Adam would erase all life on Earth except for its progeny.

[Well, that sounds utterly devastating.]

Why would you want to join that??

it's our instinct. And we can't fight it. [ hence why kaworu had to die ]

Angels and Lilim cannot co-exist in the same world. One will erase the other.

There's absolutely no way you can't? What kind of stupid god decided that?

It was god. It was a race lost long ago, from which we descended from.

And it's the way it is.

Ugh, that's ridiculous....

[But what else could they have done? If his world's gods are anything like her own, his whole world was at its mercy.]

It's alright.
