"You are Lilim," he confirmed. Though it was true, Sho was unique compared to all of the other faces of Lilim he had seen. Kaworu could not readily come up with another one whom he could compare to Sho. His dialect also grew more and more intriguing as Kaworu continued to speak to him. The words that he did know were all mathematical terms, which was a subject Kaworu had never looked into extensively. None of his Lilim tutors had complained when he would have rather studied music.
"And you call me an Angel." It felt almost nice to know there was no cause to hide that fact anymore.
Well, G, that answer told him absolute 0. Was the kid always this zetta vague? Well, it was probably just his term for huma-
"Wait, what, an Angel!?" sputtered Minamimoto at the revelation. So he was like Joshua! Wait, or was he? "Argghhh..." Sho groaned and clutched his head, trying to sort this all out. So many things pointed towards this being coincidence, but wasn't this too coincidental? The odds of this were...
"So you're from the higher plane of Angels or something? How the factor did you get derived?" With the exception of himself, Minamimoto had never heard of someone managing to actually erase an Angel. And he'd said a Lilim had done it, so a human? Or did he actually recognize what Sho was and he had been taken down by a Reaper? "For that matter, why were you even on the same wavelength as a Lilim to get derived by them?" Angels didn't come down without a reason. Every new bit of information he was getting from the kid just complicated the equation. Just who the factor was he!?
Kaworu was surprised by how informed Sho seemed, though most of his facts did not seem to line up with Kaworu's own experiences. He was aware that the Lilim had a fondness for naming things in such a fashion, but he thought he knew all of the terms. But after what had happened, it was no surprise that the old men may have hidden things from him. Of course, there was also the possibility that Sho was completely unrelated, though it was a bizarre coincidence. He particularly wished to know what Sho considered the higher plane of Angels; that was unusual.
"You will need to explain to me what you mean by a higher plane," he said accordingly. "But I was there because it was my destiny to... erase humanity," Kaworu awkwardly attempted to use the older boy's vocabulary, just as Sho had adopted Lilim.
"I did not want that future, and so I asked one to kill me." Kaworu was saddened by the memory, and yet fond of it, and it showed very slightly in his face.
"I mean that all the Angels exist on a wavelength > the wavelength of the Realground or the Underground and have to downshift their exponents to interact with people like me," Sho expounded, still not sure if Lilim referred to humans or Reapers. "So I was asking why you were even
( ... )
The dramatic gesture and flare of confidence elicited a small laugh from Kaworu. Kaworu didn't think poorly of Sho's take on the matter, but it was so alien. Certainly not anything Kaworu would have thought, though the use of crunch in the situation, referring to his death, was a little amusing. Kaworu could laugh at that.
But on the other hand, Sho's explanation of Angels from his viewpoint did not match Kaworu's knowledge. Could it be a series of unlikely coincidences?
Regardless, it seemed as though this Lilim wanted him to come along to find food. Kaworu was glad for it, both for the information and company. He nodded his agreement. "I have no preference. It's all new to me, so I am interested to see anything in this place."
"Tasty Burger it is, then!" Sho declared, shoving the other coupons back in his pocket, with little care for how crumpled they got. It said "Beauty Salon", he knew it was just a bunch of X^2's getting their nails done, not true art. Wouldn't be needing that. And Twin Pines sounded like it was full of pretentious products who like mountain air and hiking. He could do with less of those.
"You got your proof?" he asked, waving the coupon. "'cause I ain't letting you use mine."
With only that warning, he headed off down towards the main street and his desired coordinates.
