It might be scary, but I'll be waiting for you when you're finished. All you have to do is make it through.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

What if I fail? What if it kills me?

[paraclete]

[Don't say that.]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

I'll be waiting for you when you're finished, Shinji-kun.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

What if I don't finish?

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

I'll be waiting for you when you're finished.

[He wants to say something helpful, and regrets that he can't, but — this is going to make him panic. Breathing feels uncomfortable right now. If he could at least be there during the training — but all he can do is wait.

As ever.]

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Okay.

[paraclete]

[Of course Shinji will make it through. Of course he will. Because if he doesn't, there's nothing else left.

...

...]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

And I'll come see you when I'm done with mine.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I don't want to fail.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

When we're both through, let's go to the observation deck and watch the stars. Because we're moving, they're always changing, so we'll see things we haven't before.

[He says this like there isn't danger afoot, but he might be wheedling.]

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Will it be safe to?

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

We're safer together than alone.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I don't think I'll want to be alone after it. It's going to be terrible.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

I won't want you to be alone, either.

[And, honestly, neither will he want to be by himself. But there's really no need to say that.]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

Whatever you need, all right? The stars, my hand, something to drink.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

You give me so much, Kaworu-kun...

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

It's all right, isn't it?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I don't deserve you.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

You deserve everything I could ever do for you, and even more than that.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I want to do something for you.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

You do. So much. More than anyone before.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

But I don't do anything.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

You do things. And you don't have to do anything you aren't already. You're enough as you are.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I don't feel like it's enough.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

Do you trust me, Shinji-kun?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Of course.

[paraclete]

FROM: nagisa.kaworu@cdc.org

Then, will you believe me when I say that you're enough for me?
