[necrolord]

[ He gets it. He gets it better than anybody should. Sometimes, on bad days, he can't see anything except that he's been playing house with zombies for the past ten thousand years.

This isn't a bad day. He loves them all too much to stop loving the dead. Kaworu should get to love whatever's around to love, and if that's a secondhand God and the corpse of a lizard, then that's a family for the evening. ]

We are. And I bet we can have the better night of it. [ 'Shinji' leans into the petting, then trundles off again. ] Cooking means making something together - helping each other. I'll teach you.

[ He has a lot of experience, at the end of the day, when it comes to learning how to live. Teaching himself and someone else how to be human. It's been a long time; it hurts too much to bear thinking about; but he can't stop loving these echoes any more than Kaworu will stop loving his dead lizard. It's what they have. ]
