Epilogue
At night, inside SEELE compound, Brenner was summoned. Around him, 12 plates represent each monoliths presents and spreads dread feeling. Then Keel's voice broke the silence.
"Are you certain that the Ninth Child can't be found anymore?" Brenner answered the question, "Yes, we've tracked her everywhere but it seems she had gone from the Earth…no signs of her!" Another voice spoke, "How about the others? Are they fine?" Brenner only nodded,
" Don't worry, she'll be back! Now we had already two Messengers…it is better than nothing!"
Keel assured, "However, it seems insubordination had became common…first, Ryoji Kaji, and then Ritsuko Akagi! Now Shiratori and Steiner…we had dealt with Kaji, soon Akagi will follow!
Loth, what are the disciplinary action for them?" This time, Brenner had silent. Afterward, he spoke:
"We'd decided to not pursue the charges against Shiratori and Steiner…" This made monoliths were amazed,
"What? Are you insane? You suppose to be punish those traitors…" Brenner answered,
"So far I knew, what Ms. Shiratori had done wasn't beyond her responsibility as the children's guardian…she was carried too much by her maternal feeling. For Steiner's case, he was quite unstable as Security Staff. Considering these situations, NERV-6 had asked them to resigned from their position permanently. They wasn't objected it…from now on, they were no longer NERV-6 staffs."
Hearing this, Keel asked Brenner, "Are you sure your judgment clear, Loth? What happened 15 years ago, we'll never forget it as you now…" Brenner tried to keep his composure calm; he knew what happened if someone lied to them…Then Keel spoke again, "You may go, Loth! But remember you still one of us…dismissed!" Sighed, Brenner salutes them and left the place…
Later, one of monolith asked: "Why you not questioned him further? How about Shiratori and Steiner?" Keel answers this, "We don't want to risk to have another Gendo…one Gendo is enough!
Loth's loyal to us, he won't betray us…he'll still useful until the time come. For Shiratori and Steiner, we can deal with them as leisure…now back to our business!" Suddenly among them, Kaworu appeared.
"So, what you want me to do?" He asked them…
Fifteen kilometers from NERV-6 Compound, Yuji brought her backpack and strode the highway alone. She tried to get hitchhiking, however they passed her, as she had never exists. Tired of waiting, she had another approach. She wore the white shirt and brown shorts with white socks and brown hiking shoes. Then she poses attractively as she could, hoped this time someone wants to pick her. Not far from her, a SUV came. Yuji smiles, at least her patience was paid off. As the car gets nearer, she saw the driver…who surprises her:
"You!" Yuji shouted to Kurt Steiner who drove the car, Kurt himself was sheepishly grinned as usual. "Well…if it's not you, Shiratori…so they fired you too!" He asked her. Yuji smug as she answered back, "You can say that it is 'honorable dismissal' …how about you?" Kurt got closer to the window, "You really want to know? They said that I was found emotionally unstable to be NERV Security Staff…" When listened to him, Yuji smiles. "So, where are you going now?" She asked,
Kurt sighed, "I think I'll return to Germany…and then works as security consultant, and you?"
Yuji silent for a while, then: "I…I don't know, for sure I didn't want to return to Japan…I have nobody there…my parents had been died long time ago. The only person I trust was Ritsuko and Kaji …now they're no more…"
Seeing this, Kurt said, "Well, why not join me? Maybe I can bring you to another place…if you like to be with this emotionally unstable person…" Yuji wipes her tears, "Why not? I can stand it!"
"Then come!" Kurt opened the rear door and helped to bring Yuji's backpack inside. "So told me about Kaji , Misato and Ritsuko…".
"You like to heard it?" Yuji questioned, "Why not? We've a long time to continue the journey…"
"Where's your destination?". "Las Vegas!"
Meanwhile, in front of NERV-6 Compound; Ayame is conversed with Kaworu before he departs to Japan. "So…are you sure you want to do this?" she asked, as her hands quite shaken.
"It is my choice, Ayame. I know this is hard, yet I willing to try anything to know about these Children and understands them…with that, they knew that we're not their enemy…" She quite silent, in her mind she believes that he won't return alive if NERV-1 learn about his true identity.
Like knew her thought, Kaworu held her chin and said, "Somehow, I learn how to appreciate what is beauty…you looks beautiful, Ayame. Especially when you sad…" Without she realizes, tears fall from her eyes…for the first time. They're like the glittering pearls that had shined at the sunrise.
"Angels not supposed to be have emotion at all, yet I learnt it now…I know how to be lose someone whom you loved for," Kaworu faces her closely…and kissed her lips. Ayame replies the same; she knew that is the last time they'll be together…his hand hugs her waist closely to his body. They felt the warmth over it, they know that they are children of Adam…love is not foreign to them, yet it's hardly expressed by them. Then they released each other, facing each destiny and find the truth on it.
" If I never make it, just remember: they didn't knew what they've done, " Kaworu turned his back from her, and walked toward the rising sun. However, he managed to look Ayame again and whispered: "Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit* …good bye, my mate! Farewell!" After that, he continued to walk until he's vanished from Ayame's sight. She whispers: "Thank you, Kaworu! You've show me the truth of me…non sum quails eram*, "
Notes:
That's it, folks! This might be dissappointing, but frankly, I admit that I didn't had any idea how to ended this gracefully. Since
this story was set up between the 16th and 17th Angel. Of course you know what happened to Kaworu.
For your information, if you want to know about Ayame Nagase try to find it at NGE:Resurrection (www.resurrection.cyril.com).
About Aoi Tamashii, find at NGE-R(www.eva-r.com). Once again, this story had nothing to do with the original storyline of both.
