... Owl is dead, huh? Shit. Fuck. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, that's what you get for trying to rebel in Wonderland. ... Still, if there was anyone who didn't deserve this kind of bullshit... Ugh.

For fuck's sake. I never really said anything to him after he saved my life from the Punishment Game. I wouldn't've thanked him or anything, just...

Just going to see them means a lot.

[xxxing]

... What the hell is the point? It's not like that dumbass can hear me or anything. He wouldn't even know. He's fucking dead.

[childrenoflilim]

I don't think that's true.

[xxxing]

Of course you don't.

Fine. Tell me what you think, Ikari. I'll try not to be sick.

[childrenoflilim]

....

People that see a lot of death are always heard by people who've died.

[xxxing]

... Seriously? That's bullshit.

[childrenoflilim]

It probably is.

[xxxing]

Whatever, that's your thing, think what you want. I think talking to dead guys is a whole load of crap. He's dead. He's not gonna hear anything, because once you're dead, you're dead. That's it. End of the line.

[childrenoflilim]

No.

[xxxing]

--No?

[childrenoflilim]

No.

[xxxing]

Goddamn, you're standing up to me a lot lately. Okay, if you're gonna say no, then keep talking. No what?

[childrenoflilim]

[he thinks of his mother. of ayanami. of the classmates who were ghosts, there one day and gone the next for fear of their lives. the whispers of casualties from Eva.]

No. Dead people never leave. Not entirely. They just...change shape.

[xxxing]

... Did you even think about how creepy that sounds before you said it?

[childrenoflilim]

...no.

[xxxing]

Well, it sounds fucking creepy.
