Video | June 6th | Late Evening

[The camera shakes violently as it clicks on, panning around for a moment before landing on the disgruntled face of Asuka.]

I don’t care who sees this, but someone damn well better get me some new clothes! I’m not sitting around in this torn up plug suit just because some stupid machine decided to bring me to this stupid place!

[She shakes the device a little, causing the camera to wheel once again.]

And if someone doesn’t bring me clothes RIGHT. NOW. I’m gonna start kicking all of your asses the moment I see each and every one of you!

[It’s obvious that she is upset as she curses to herself about stupid people and stupid machines and stupid MP Evas, the camera still rolling through her muttered tantrum, the sounds of things being knocked over underlying her words until the camera itself is suddenly thrown and turns off with the impact of hitting the wall.]

[She gets up real close to the camera, frowning in irritation.]

...who are you? How do you know I'm the Second Child??

[he manages to resist the odd urge to back away in response, instead only smiling politely.]

I was the Fifth. We were not able to meet due to your condition at the time of my arrival.

[She stiffens slightly and grits her teeth.]

Why wasn't I told about you?

[Not that there was any time for her to be told about him, but she can still be displeased with it anyway.]

And don't talk about that or I'll make you regret it.

[he's not at all surprised that she's defensive about her most vulnerable time, so he wisely obeys.]

I cannot say for sure why, as I was already dead by the time you were returned to active duty.

[That... actually startles her.]

...You're dead?! Then how the hell are you here??

The machine that brought us all here has that power. It has worked out well for me, so I am hardly going to complain.

....

[Well, that makes her situation a lot more clear, though she isn't really sure she wanted it clear. She grits her teeth and looks away from the camera.]

So even the dead can be here... Tch.

Does that bother you?

[no kaworu stop psychoanalysis right now is a bad life decision.]

[Looks away, obviously irritated.]

Wouldn't it bother anyone? To know you're talking to a dead person...

Here, I am just as alive as you are. The only difference is that I do not have a life to return to, should BREW decide to send me home.

[so please BREW don't send him home ~~it will just lead to an eternity of time loops and despair.~~]

[...swallows hard and... it seems she might be shaking because the camera sure is.]

I'm not sure anyone has a life to return to.

[Kind of... mutters that, hurk.]

...I have been told about what happened back home, after [his death] I was brought here. But I do not believe all hope is lost.

...

[Shakes her head.]

Whatever. I almost still wish I could go back right now. At least then I wouldn't have to deal with any of this.

"Almost". But this place is not that bad, for all its warring. For many of us, it is preferrable to home.

You fought the angels, didn't you? Then you should know why I'd rather be home piloting my Eva!

[awkward.]

There are no more Angels for you to fight, no more reason to pilot the Evas.

There's still plenty of reason to pilot the Evas. I was in the middle of a fight when I was dragged he--...

[She trails off and frowns...]

I assuming that fight was with SEELE. Who do you think there will be after that?

Who knows. I just know that I don't want to give up my Eva...

You may not have a choice. But if it comes down to either giving that up, or the continued threat to the world, is it that great a price to pay?

...You just don't understand. I can't give up my Eva. I just can't.

You are saying "can't", but it seems more like you simply do not want to.

[Grits her teeth.]

I only just found out she's been with me this whole time, you can't tell me to leave her behind now!

[...oh.]

...Your mother will not leave you simply because you are not piloting the Eva anymore.

[Stares, wide-eyed, for a moment. And then gets up close to the camera.]

...shut up. You don't know anything.

[She clicks the feed off there, totally done with you, Fifth Child ugh!]
