...I'm still running. Still. Even here. The idea of going home, just the idea of it... It made me sick.
Of course it was a lie. Of course it was. Either way, there's no way back for me, for us. We're dead, after all.
It's the same as then. Without EVA what can I do? Nothing at all. I'm just... Useless.
Asuka... I'm sorry.
It was a lie, there's no way back and all this fighting. But if I'm dead, and I know that, what is there left to fear? The pain? It can't be... Then what? Existence and living, are they the same? They can't be. If death doesn't stop you from moving and you continue to exist... then surely all that's left to fear is the removal of self existence.
I... It's the same. The same here as there.
Only difference is I really can't do anything here and I could before. Maybe I should have tried to appeal to those Deity things before to try and bring Unit 01 here as well. Whatever good it would have done. But either way it's too late now. I want to keep existing.
