I don't care.

...

It doesn't matter where I go. Here, there. It's all the same. I'll be used by others and I'll hurt others. It doesn't matter if Asuka or Kaworu will be there. I'll hurt them, too. That's all... that's all I do.

Why do you bother asking? You don't care about me. It's already done. And I deserve this.

...We don't, normally. Not negative feelings.

I am the scion of Adam, whose soul resides within me. My body is that of the angel Tabris, but my identity is Kaworu Nagisa.

I stood for the mission of human instrumentality. And I betrayed that cause, because of my human identity. The way I chose to die was evident of that.

Because of my feelings, I have free will; like a human, I have individuality. At least, this is how I've come to understand it. And...born from individuality is suffering, which we sought to eliminate from all humans.

[staring it in the face like this makes Kaworu feel pretty terribly sickened with himself; he hasn't analyzed it, because he hadn't had the time to do so. you know, dying on top of an already very brief life and everything.]

... that's sad.

[He doesn't know what else to say. Kaworu is the one who's eloquent, not Shinji. It's a miracle that he can string together a coherent sentence that isn't buried beneath some sort of self-loathing. He still doesn't know if he understands the Angel fully--he never will. But the explanation makes him a little more understandable. Relatable. Safer to be around.]

From what I can gather, living is just that way, it seems. But it doesn't matter, now.

[Kaworu's expression shifts to something more mischievous, watching Shinji out the corner of his eyes. his tone of voice is teasing, but he's probably not lying.]

I'll just find some version of you and I'll make him love me. That will end most of my misery.
