[This isn't a puzzle that needs to be solved in one day. It might not be a puzzle to solve at all. Kaworu isn't the only one whose mind is changing about what it means to be, whose growth is measured in pearls of realization formed around cutting grit.]
And there's nothing we do that you can't, if you want to. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to. There's nothing wrong with you.
[Not the way that Kaworu thinks there is, but Paul still isn't here to pull him apart. Kaworu is his charge, his sworn responsibility. He's Paul's friend, fickle and vexing as he can be. This place doesn't get to make him feel otherwise, while Paul's here to remind him.]
