[Slowly, he drops his arms from his middle, reaching out timidly to grasp onto the hem of Kaworu's nightshirt.]
Then stay...please.
Then stay...please.
I make mistakes.
[That's enough movement for Kaworu to be even more forward. For the first time, he takes Shinji into his arms. It's a wonderful feeling, the mesh of their limbs, Shinji's hair against his cheek.]
Thank you for letting me see you tonight.

[He's about to say something in response to Kaworu's words but his voice dies in his throat out of shock when he feels the Angel's arms wrap around him. No longer is it his own arms that are around his middle. Kaworu is hugging him. Embracing him. It's enough to make his mind shut down.
When was the last time he'd been hugged? Surely his mother had hugged him, or so he wants to desperately believe. He can't remember. He's never let anyone close enough. Yet here he is and Shinji's dumbfounded as to how to respond. He'd been feeling chilled but now he's warm, right throughout his entire body as he finally reaches up, cautiously with his own arms, to awkwardly return the hug. It seems surreal. Was this really even happening?]
I...any time, Kaworu-kun.

Anything, really. [This may sound like a cop-out answer, but Kaworu doesn't mean for it to be.] I want to hear about what made you joyful. I want to hear about the things that were hard. Like I said, you should be celebrated. That includes every aspect of the life you've lived. It's rich.
Well...
[Pilot tilts his head back to the sky and then continues, voice soft.]
...in that case. He remembers... flying. There isn't much to see when your between stars or planets. Just distant points of light. But then there are the teams we were close - he remembers - looking down on a planet - a gas giant. A swirling array of colors and storms, all seen from a thousand miles away. And it was beautiful. Terrible and awe-inspiring in how it dwarfed us, a reminder of how small we all were. But - it was wonderful at the same time.

NHD-C12-LRC-310's height without the shoes on is 165 centimeters. Because I said I would.

Embarrassing. You're so embarrassing.
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
No, I'm embarrassed for you. I'm sorry for your misfortune.
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
You're one of those positive short people. Even sadder.
FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org
I don't have any reason to feel negatively about my height. I don't think that being taller would bring me closer to achieving my goals. My body allows me to do many things, and I do feel positively towards it.
FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org
Is height a subject of sensitivity for you? I'm certain that no matter what your height is, your body is also an illustration of beauty. Centimeters have nothing to do with that.

[ Why is this guy so agreeable it's kind of annoying... ]
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I'm usually seven to eight feet tall, unhindered. Taller than that normally, in my natural setting. Height isn't the problem.
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
It's when short people yell at tall people calling them liars because impotent insults are the only way they're able to reach above their heads.
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I am perfect, though.
[Gonna love and tolerate you, Dagger...]

Insecurity will sometimes lead to hostility. It can be difficult to accept yourself. Many people have parts of themselves that shame them, or make them feel unworthy of love, admiration, or success.
FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org
It sounds like you don't have that problem, though. I'm glad you're at peace with yourself. (─‿─)

You sound like a computer. I'm keeping you.

Are you a clone?

Religious or Racial?
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I'm okay with that. You can stay.

It crosses my mind all the time to purge the crew.
