[Johnny actually gives Kaworu a perplexed look as though he doesn't really understand what he's saying at first.]

Right? You mean when we fought?

You showed me just how fucking wrong I was about you when we did that.

It might take some work to get it out of you but deep down you've got the heart of a true badass in there. That nothing will stop you when you actually put your mind to it.

[Perhaps more literally than Johnny would like to admit but he didn't have a magic shield or some bullshit like that. He did see that Kaworu was unwavering in his dedication to Paul though.]

But take it from me, kid. You have to work to make things right.

I spent thirty years of my life not trying to do that and just watched as everything broke down around me. It took someone else to remind me that striking first isn't just something you do in a fight. It's something you need to do in everyday life too.

[There's a sniffle from the boy curled up in on himself. He never expected this sort of kindness. Especially not from Johnny Lawrence. He doesn't know how to feel about it. It makes him desperate for more. It makes him regret the way he thought about the man before. It makes him wonder why Johnny hadn't been like this before. Or if he always had been and Kaworu just hadn't noticed.

He scrubs his face with the back of his knuckles.]

I'd do anything to fix it.
