[nods]

... It would be pretty ungrateful of me to keep moping after I've been given this extra time... however long it lasts. So while there's still many things about my previous life that get me down every now and then, I am trying my best to focus on the here and now.

Mm... I guess that's just a really long-winded way to say, it's a work in progress. But I'm certain I can be happy here, and I'm not planning to let that possibility go to waste.

. . .

Am I allowed?

Yes.

[looks startled at . . . that . . . answer. like, maybe he wasn't expecting to be told "no" but just—that's it?]

. . .

Has anybody said otherwise?

Shouldn't I go—back there?

[shakes her head]

That's your choice.

[voice cracking, raising in pitch]

Even Misato-san—?

[baby no]

Were you expecting me to tell you what to do?

I—I don't know—

[getting teary again]

You haven't remembered everything yet, have you? It's not something you have to decide right now.

I don't want to go back!

Then... don't.

But— . . .

What?

What?

Misato-san . . . you always wanted me to pilot Eva.

Yes. And you did.

I didn't save anybody. I never . . .

Are you certain of that?

. . . I didn't save Ayanami. And anybody else I might have saved once—didn't I just go and ruin that?

Did you? Do you remember enough to be 100% sure of that?

More importantly, how does that affect your decision?

. . . I was only ever miserable there. I don't want to go back.

So if it turns out that you did save people... will you want to go back, then?

No—. . . I want to go home with Ruka and Kaworu . . . I want to help here . . . I—

Then do that, Shinji-kun.
