Leliel and Shinji in “Unfinished Business”

Will you spend your life regurgitating and re-digesting those few pleasant moments?

Shinji

If I trust their words, it’s enough to keep me alive.

Even though you’re deceiving yourself?

Shinji

Everybody does it! That’s how everyone survives.

If you will not believe that you can change yourself, you will be unable to continue.

Shinji

This world is filled with too much pain and suffering to keep going.

For example, you can’t swim?

Shinji

Humans aren’t made to float!

That’s self-deception.

Shinji

I don’t care what you want to call it!

You’ve been shutting your eyes to that which you wished to avoid.

Shinji

No, I don’t want to hear this!

See? You’re running from reality again. No one can justify life by linking happy moments into a rosary. In particular, I cannot.

Shinji

I’ve found something I can do to feel good. Something I want to do! What’s wrong with that?!
