Optimism Doesn't Change the Facts
By the end of the 17th, the last of those suffering from the Overgrowth have either pulled through or succumbed entirely. For the next two days, their bodies will decompose and the flowers will feed on their remains, flourishing into bright patches of color.
If you perished and choked on your flowery words, never fear. Come the 19th, you will be stirring awake in the Storyteller's Temple. You will be experiencing a few...side effects, as it happens, while your body readjusts. It will take something like a week for those symptoms to disperse, though the Storyteller isn't around to inform you of this.
What is around? Aside from your own freshly revived selves, there are a great deal of flowers, and all of them are sickeningly familiar. Scarlet gladiolus. Blushing dog rose. Soft yellow buttercups. Garnet-colored geraniums. Dark nodules of fly orchids. Rich violets. Periwinkle hydrangeas. Peppered yellow speckles of goldenrod. Jade green zinnias. Red spears of snapdragons. Pale begonias. Pink spangles of mountain laurel.
Don't be concerned. These ones certainly aren't going to be spreading to your flesh anytime soon.

If your character died during this event, please let us know if you have not already. Death penalties have been reduced for this event, but we still need to account for them!

That gets a strong reaction. Strong for Kaworu, anyway; he lifts his hands, staring with incomprehension at the deep green bud in its bed of dark arterial blood.
His perceptions do not match reality.
His brows crease.
If Legion is patient enough, several actual minutes will pass like this, as Kaworu works his way through the big, decidedly Lilim-calibre question. His perceptions do not match reality. His perceptions... do not match reality. His perceptions do not match... reality.
A human would probably have a much less difficult time determining the problem; Kaworu takes several minutes to decide the problem might be his perception of reality. At which point it is necessary to understand reality... the power of the Fruit of Knowledge. What is he supposed to do? He has a brief sensation of something that might be called 'unfairness.'
When he speaks, he doesn't look up.
"What is reality?" He's asking an extremely literal question.

...
This is a difficult question.
"There are many possible answers to this question. The projections of higher dimensions. A persistent illusion. That which, when you stop believing in it, does not go away."
They could attempt to explain the nature of the universe and the forces that interact to create it. They could also explain how the world perceived is actually a result of how the brain perceives these interactions, and not how things actually are.
"None of them are relevant to the current situation. The reality you fail to understand is your own: judging by this conversation, it is likely you possess a desire of which you are unaware."

"I want something I'm not aware of?"
That sounds... unlikely. How could he want without awareness?
That's... the human condition. How could he have found himself there? It didn't make sense. Had he been manipulated into it? Was this part of SEELE's design? He doesn't like it. He doesn't like any part of it. If it's even true.
He wants out.
...
Wait.
"..... I think I understand."

Legion tilts their head curiously.
