You know, people are formed by the bonds they have made. You get to know your shape through others and you can’t see yourself and exist if there aren’t others. After all, how will you call yourself kind, when there is no one to be kind to? How will you call yourself smart, when there is nothing for you to use your intellect? If you don’t have others, there is no difference between you and nothing. And no one needs nothing. One must be surrounded by others and one cannot live alone.

You have formed bonds with others and you form those people. You are part of them, even if it's so subtle like passing by the street or strong like the feelings you have for your friend. You are part of someone. Doesn't that make you needed? And if you are needed and worthy of his love, doesn't that mean you have value? And if you do have value, shouldn't you take care of yourself, then?

[ there is a pause and kaworu smiles ] I don't think you should give yourself the same treatment your friend would give you.

I just think you should take care of yourself. After all, you are worthy of love.
