[Kaworu is wearing all of the clothes that the CDC's provided. Not because he's cold - he isn't, this weather is fine and even interesting to him - but because he still supposes that it should be done that way. So he's bundled up when he arrives.
He's quiet when he comes, shoes barely scuffing the ground, and when he stops before pilot, hands in his pockets, he inhales deeply and slowly. The air is fresh in his lungs. Then he exhales.]
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.
[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.
