(The recording turns on, Kaworu is singing to himself.)

Joyously, as his suns speed
Through Heaven's glorious order,
Hasten, Brothers, on your way,
Exulting as a knight in victory.

I'd bet... even without the Eva, you could go out there and do something to help...

It's... it's kind of chilly, but I'll be fine... th-thank you, though...

[Voice]

[seashore_swan]

Why do you say it in such a way? You're just as capable as me of such a thing.

..You've gone through so much lately..settling for simply 'fine' doesn't bode well with me.

[Voice]

[hedghogsdilema]

No, it's... it's different for you, Kaworu...

Don't worry about me, okay? I've... I've worried you more than enough lately...

[Voice]

[seashore_swan]

Is it?

I'm afraid that's an impossible request. Because I care about you, it's only natural for me to worry about you as well. I don't mind it.

[Voice]

[hedghogsdilema]

Yeah, you're... you're different...

That doesn't make me feel any better about having you worry. I... feel guilty about it...

[Voice]

[seashore_swan]

True enough. We're fundamentally the same, though..even more so now that we're in this place.

You shouldn't, though.

[Voice]

[hedghogsdilema]

Perhaps...

I can't help but feel bad knowing that I've made you worry, though.

[Voice]

[seashore_swan]

So why do you continue to degrade yourself like this?

Hahaha, Shinji... it'd be more appropriate to feel bad if you were to do something to make me stop worrying. Otherwise, it's not necessary to feel that way.
