[ Kaworu looks different today (and tomorrow). He is white and from his back several wings spurt out (if you look closely, they resemble a damselfly’s wings); it’s almost as if he’s surrounded by light, in a way. He is shirtless due to the wings and in the middle of his chest there is a red orb (his core). This would be called Kaworu’s angel form. Or at least, how he imagines it to be. In his hands, he is holding what it appears to be an embryo, encased in an amber-like substance - that is Adam. Kaworu received Adam some time ago, but he has kept it away for several reasons. Now that he is (temporarily) in his angel form, he couldn’t help but to reach for the embryo. ]
Angels desire to become one. It’s not love, not really. I do not love my children and siblings [ all 15 of them; yes, Kaworu has children ], just like I do not love Adam, my mother - but I still need them and wish to become one with them. It's a need humans don't understand. But becoming one isn't something only angels want. [ he smiles gently, red eyes turning to the embryo ]
Plato said that long ago, humans had two faces, two noses, two sets of ears, eyes, arms and legs. They were powerful, and the gods were threatened by them, so they decided to cut all the human beings in half. The humans were all divided in two; that’s how one became two, and it left a wound. After, the gods scattered them away, leaving them to find their missing half. That was the source of human’s desire to love each other. Love is born into every human being: it calls back the halves of their original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature.
And so, when a person meets the half they are missing, the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another. To come together and melt together with the one they love, so that one person will emerge from two. ‘Love’ then became the name for the pursuit of wholeness, for the desire to be complete. That's what Plato said.
But what is love, to you? What do you call love, and why do you? What makes you say “I love this person”?
[ a pause ] Shinji-kun, I can’t leave the room, Tsuki and Zadkiel want to bite my wings. [ maybe that should be your priority right now, kaworu ]

[All of it, probably.]
And evven if I regretted my actions afterwwards, that's not goin' to bring her back to life, is it? So wwhy dwwell on it?

[He was stubborn that way.]
Besides, you havve to admit I'm right. Lovve is a ridiculously vvolatile emotion.
[Video]
[Video]
[He still half-does, to be honest.]
[Video]
I still do love you. [ SMILE ]
[Video]
[No one ever called Eridan tactful.]
Mostly because I knoww you don't mean it like trolls. Or evven humans apparently.
[Video]
[Video]
[Don't go down this avenue, Kaworu. Eridan is a needy, needy troll.]
Besides, I havve it on good authority I'm 'unlovvable.'
[Video]
Unlovable? Why do you say that?
[Video]
I killed the last troll wwho might a' lovved me.
[Which affected him far more than he let on.]
An' evven she got tired a' me before that.
[Video]
And now, nobody cares about you? [ what about Sam and Roxy? ]
[Video]
[He doesn't feel like explaining beyond that.]
People might care, but I think you and I both knoww that lovve is different from carin'.
[Video]
I do know it's different to you, but I do not see difference. Caring is a form of love, Eridan, and the moment someone cares for you, it means you are loved, even if not romantically.
You are not unlovable.
[Video]
[He frowns at Kaworu's explanation.]
That doesn't make any glubbin' sense, I hope you knoww that.
[Cultural differences are pretty vast when your entire culture is based on conquest.]
[Video]
[ he smiles softly at that ]
It means you are worthy.
[Video]
A'course I'm wworthy. There wwasn't a doubt about that.
