I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere [CLOSED]
Who: Kaworu Nagisa and Ginko
What: Ginko is reunited with someone who never met him to begin with.
When: July 19th
Where: Umui, around here
Warnings: None
The buildings are not essentially more interesting to Kaworu than any other part of the island, but they are more familiar. Well, ostensibly, anyway. They're filled to bursting with branches and vines, brilliant blooms and other growth... very different from the hollow, dust-drifted abandonment of Old Tokyo. He doesn't know anything about plants other than... well, that everyone is afraid of them here, so he's wandering more or less without purpose through the buildings, admiring both the construction and the deconstruction in equal measure. He has not yet set actual foot on this island, though--besides sleeping (which is now mandatory), he hasn't set foot on the ground since he realised weeks ago that he didn't have to.
These buildings that were still standing, and the humans who made them... those humans who had worked so hard for all of it, through all of it.
They were all dead now.
But just their having existed was enough to work up a new group of humans so much; just because they too were alive, they identified with these humans and even their machines immediately. It had taken Kaworu days to understand what they were so upset about.
Humans, so desperate to feel connected that they saw themselves in humans whose experiences they didn't know and whose existence was wholly independent of theirs in every way, humans they would never know, and who would never know them. They were so desperately connected to each other that had forgotten their original mission entirely, instead digging desperately for something in these ruins, something they couldn't even explain.
It was really interesting, but it was also sort of pointless. They were so upset about it.
Just like SEELE had said, humans really were...

no subject
It's no surprise to see someone else out here, though... the floating is a little bit less expected. It is, in fact, notable enough that it takes him a few moments to notice that this boy looks... very, very familiar. "--Kaworu?"
no subject
It's not until he hears his name--a rare enough sound as it is--that he turns, not with surprise, but with a smile of acknowledgment.
He is not surprised by Ginko's presence, and he is not surprised that he has no idea who this man is. But he is curious.
"Hello."
no subject
...Which he supposes would mean that, even if he remembers Ginko, he probably doesn't remember some of their interactions that Ginko does. Worse case scenario, he supposes that the last thing Kaworu might remember of him could be... well, the time Ginko nearly killed him.
Which is why Ginko doesn't move any closer.
"You... do you remember me?"
no subject
"....."
Kaworu doesn't say anything, he just continues to smile unwaveringly at Ginko, floating just a few feet off the ground.
"Do you want me to?"
He has no idea who Ginko is.
no subject
"It's not about what I want. I just want to know if you, here and now, recognize me or not."
no subject
"But you recognise me, I think. Why is that?"
no subject
"I... do." How does he explain this? "There was... another world that I ended up in, before this one, that seemed to... pull people in. Like this one. You... were there, but I suppose it was a different 'you'."
