What do you live for?

[ it's a very simple question. But Kaworu has been asking himself that ever since he was brought back to this world. His own role has been fulfilled and the thing he wanted to happen did, therefor... there is nothing else to him.

And yet he is still here. To live or to die doesn't matter to him, but he has a reason for the later, not for the first. So kaworu does what he does best: he asks other people.

It's also because he is endlessly curious about everyone.



But also! ]

Where may I find a piano?

…”Your kind”?

Yes. My brother was murdered several years ago. I live because I know he’d want me to keep going forward. It is a way to honor his memory. And in addition to living to unravel the mysteries of life, I live to seek the truth behind his death.

See? They intersect.

Lilin call my kind Angels.

Once you have found that truth, do you believe anything will change?

[An angel. Well now. That certainly… explained some things. Posed a lot of additional questions as well, of course, but still. She has plenty of Thoughts on the matter but he had clearly put up a quiet resistance back there, insisting he was incapable of change. To just outright ignore that would be in many ways going against what she was trying to teach him: the fundamentals of understanding and empathizing with others. You can't have a true conversation with someone who won’t let you. So she lets it go, for now.]

Really now? I’ve met plenty of devils but I’ve never met an angel before. I take it "lilin" are humans?

Maybe not. For years, I thought what I wanted was to get revenge. Now, I’m not so sure. If nothing else, I’ll finally have closure.

Lilin are those capable of change, growth, development, building civilization and creation. Humans are part of them, but not only Humans.

The need for knowledge and understanding what happened.
I hope you can find that.

Is that right...? So the devils, the clay men, and even the rattus-faber could qualify as Lilin, then. That's very interesting. Are there other types of Lilin in your world, too? Devils and the like? [It seemed an obvious question on some levels. If there are angels, of course there would be devils. But if the terms were that broad, maybe it wasn't so clear cut.]

Thank you. I dearly hope so as well.

I have never met any of those beings, thus I do not know. Devils exist in stories, but they are not real in the world I come from.

But animals are, in themselves, part of Lilin. So are plants.
