“I’m sorry, I don’t think you can.”

“If he said it though… I know it’s really childish to want it like this, but if he said he doesn’t resent me for what I did. If he said he still loves me then I’d believe it. I’m sorry, I know I’m making you mad but I’m just stupid like that.”
“Yeesh, is that all?”

“… You wait here.”
“You’re sick of my whining aren’t you?”

“Uch I don’t blame you. I-If you want to go I won’t mind. You shouldn’t have to worry about something I brought on myself.”
hedgehog-in-dilemma:
“I don’t like it when people try to manipulate me.”

“Don’t put your nose in my business and pretend you’re looking out for me.”
“This is because I’ve been bothering you about eating more, your brother and Kaworu isn’t it?”

“I’m sorry, I just wanted to help.”

“Wh-What do you think it is!? D-Didn’t they tell you it’s it’s about some boy who d-dresses like a girl and does stuff with g-guys a-and…”

“Uh, n-never mind. If you didn’t know then there’s no point in getting mad at you. Sorry about calling you a pervert.”

“Wait, d-did you just say I look nice?”

“I was told it’s about youth and love. Is that incorrect?”

“And yes, I find your outfit makes your shoulders and waist look very nice. The color compliments your hair as well. Shinji also enjoys dressing up on occasion—my Shinji, that is—so I’m not particularly surprised to find another who does so.”
“I wouldn’t really say it’s all about love. At least not the kind of love you’re thinking of.”
“Uh n-no, y-you’ve got it all wrong. I-I’m glad you’ve got someone a-and they’re okay with going around like that b-but believe me, I wouldn’t let others see me like this if I had a choice.”

“A-And don’t say something embarrassing so casually. Y-You don’t even really mean it do you? Th-There isn’t anything that nice about my waist, shoulders o-or the rest of my body.”
*Sigh*
And there he goes again. Sometimes I worry about that Vice Commander.

I repeat, IT’S GOOD TO SEE NO-ONE CARES ABOUT ME!
WILL BE CLOSING SOON!
Don’t go…

I’m sorry we’ve all been acting like jerks but I’m really glad someone back from home is here a-and I know the others are. We’d all be sad if you left.

mangashinji:
“Yeah, you never ate a lot but now it’s just like you’re starving yourself… I liked things better the way they used to be. Back when you and your brother were still friends.”

“We don’t! The rest of you never abused the people who loved you like he did. You never betrayed your best friend and you left the person you love to die like some mangy stray. He knows I’ve turned out just like him and he’s glad about it!”
“Ugh… Never mind, it’s probably for the better. If I weren’t cursed like this I’d just end up taking after him in one more way.”
Shinji fails to comment on the food stuff. It would only make the other worry.

“I don’t know what to tell you, Shinji. You really have it in for yourself. What can I say to convince you you’re good for him?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t think you can.”

“If he said it though… I know it’s really childish to want it like this, but if he said he doesn’t resent me for what I did. If he said he still loves me then I’d believe it. I’m sorry, I know I’m making you mad but I’m just stupid like that.”
Still in the dress? At this point I'd suggest just going naked to get some relief already...

Eh d-did you j-just say n-n-naked!? Bu-But that’s… I-If I do that everyone will see my body!

Uh I-I mean th-thanks big brother b-but I… I don’t think we see this exactly the same way. It’s not dressing like a girl that bothers me as much as it is everyone seeing me like this and thinking I’m weird and everyone already has.
The damage has already been done a-and running around naked can’t possibly make things any better. I’d rather just find a way to fix things with my Kaworu, break this curse and go back to normal.

“Uh maybe? It’s not like winter back home wasn’t like this. B-Besides, it’s not like I’ve been keeping track of time since getting here.”

“Uh a-and about that, I-I just had a dream where I was back home. The aunt stuff was just about my aunt not you… Um n-not that that means y-you wouldn’t make a wonderful mother if you had the chance… “

“Augh, th-that sounds just as weird! N-Never mind, j-just forget said anything other than thanks!
“A butterfly who dreams he is a man who dreams he is a butterfly. Which is the dream and which is the dreamer?”

“No need to fret, Shinji-kun. It is a compliment to say that one would make a good mother, whether such is possible or not. In either case, I hope it was a pleasant dream?”

“A dreamer? I might have been dreaming I was in bed during that dream but… Y-You don’t think I’m like that butterfly do you?

“Bu-But you’re a guy. You’ve done more for me than my aunt, or mother ever did and you really have been a better mother than either of them but it just… I-It just feels like I’ve made you do something you shouldn’t have had to do.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything. I was just back home. I mean I don’t think I ever bothered to explain anything those times I was upset and yelling but I lived with my mother’s family before coming here. They weren’t as bad as I made them sound.”

“Yeah well if that’s the kind of movie want to watch th-then y-you can watch it alone!”

“A-And by the way, I’m only dressing like this cause somebody left me with a curse s-so don’t go getting any funny ideas out of your film, Pervworu!”

“That kind of— What kind of movie is it? I thought nothing of your dress, but you look nice…?”
“Wh-What do you think it is!? D-Didn’t they tell you it’s it’s about some boy who d-dresses like a girl and does stuff with g-guys a-and…”

“Uh, n-never mind. If you didn’t know then there’s no point in getting mad at you. Sorry about calling you a pervert.”

mangashinji:

“Uh, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about… At least I hope you don’t.”

“I…am talking about watching a movie which has been suggested to me?”
“Yeah well if that’s the kind of movie want to watch th-then y-you can watch it alone!”

“A-And by the way, I’m only dressing like this cause somebody left me with a curse s-so don’t go getting any funny ideas out of your film, Pervworu!”
