Neon Genesis Evangelion
Book Six -- Hamburger
As the future mother and future father lie upon the grass of the New Earth, She greets her angel in preparation of the creation of the New World.
"Out of all you could have chosen to restore, why is it that you chose me?", the angel inquires.
"I still have need of you.", She replies.
"For Shinji's sake? How is it that I can be of service?"
"For now, I wish to discuss with you my plans for the future of this world.", She replies.
"So even God needs someone to talk to.", the angel remarks.
"If I liked being alone, I would have created nothing.", the goddess informs.
"You have made me to listen and listen I will.", the angel replies.
"I have been thinking that I should change the way the world should work.", She remarks.
"In what ways do You plan to change this world?"
"For one, I have taking in consideration of perhaps changing the way the body functions."
"Forgive me, but I do not like where this conversation is going.", the angel remarks apprehensively.
"Why not? I am starting over and perhaps it is time to consider that the way the human body functions could be changed for the benefit of mankind.", She debates.
"Oh, I am relieved, for I feared that you had considered making man the mother and woman the father.", the angel replies relieved.
"Actually, that was one of what I considered. As man learned more about the world, he lessoned his punishment. He had acquired the means to toil without toiling and it was far more convenient for a machine to toil for a man than a tube to bear for a woman."
"Perhaps it is unfair, but I stand by your original decision.", the angel comments.
"Indeed, that is correct. In the narrow view, it is unfair, but in the end it is justified. I will not change that. I shall not now change the way man's bodies work. Should I change even one inch of flesh, I would have to change it all."
"What now will you consider to change?", the angel inquires.
"Food.", She merely replies.
"Food? You will make new foods and recipes?"
"Perhaps, but I have debated on changing the interaction between food and people. Perhaps it is time to make hamburgers healthy."
"WHAT," the angel protests, "you are going to make junk food good for you!"
"Perhaps I have been too strict on man. In this New Eden I should be a little more lenient.", She informs.
"Even so, perhaps it is best that you keep everything as you first created it.", the angel suggests.
"True, however, then what value would this second chance be? Change is neccessary not only to correct mistakes, but to add variety. I have made no mistake, however, it is My desire to create more variety in this world. That is what I desire.", the goddess replies.
"So shall it be."
