Adam, that from which we came. Must one who was born from Adam return to Adam, even though it would destroy man? But wait… This isn’t… Lilith?! I see! I understand now! The Lilim, Lilith!
[Unit 01 grabs Kaworu]
I thank you, Shinji. I wanted you to take Unit 2 from me. Otherwise, with her, I might have survived much longer.
Kaworu, but why?
It is my destiny to live forever, though my survival will bring final destruction to the human race. However, it is possible for me to be killed, and whether I live or die makes no great difference. In truth, death may be the only absolute freedom there is.
What are you.. Kaworu, I don't understand what you are talking about, Kaworu..
This is my wish: please, destroy me. Otherwise, you will be destroyed. Only one life-form can be chosen to evade the destruction and seize the future! And you are not the existence which should die. You need the future; it is what you live for! Thank you Shinji, my life was meaningful because of you.
