Background OST

It's the same dream again.
The warm light of the sunset reflecting on the walls of the empty school corridor.
My steps echoing eerily as I walk.
The same haunting melody played beautifully on a grand piano wafting through the air.
I open the door.
He's there, as always.
"Come, Shinji," he would say, without looking up from the piano.
This time as well, I sit beside him, watching his fingers gracefully glide over the keys.
I close my eyes, leaning into the melody.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ZoQJe3xz
The light rustling of leaves and the sound of the clock ticking weave together with the melody, creating an ominous symphony counting down the seconds we have left together in this space where only the two of us exist. Still, I can't do anything but dread for the melody to end. Because then, I'll have to wake up in a world where he's gone.
Kaworu's face is always the same. Wearing a peaceful, almost unearthly smile, he plays the keys effortlessly, submerging himself into the melody of the piece.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2HXgXl6x7
When he stops playing, the sun will have set, and he'll disappear. He never looks at me even once throughout the song, despite all the times I've tried to gain his attention.
But this time, what if I stop him from playing? I have to try everything I can- no matter what it takes. Beggars can't be choosers.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O4qzcMoCt
With that thought in my mind, I wrap my arms around him.
The music stops, and for a moment, the world was completely silent.
"...Shinji."
Kaworu finally turns to look at me, an incredulous look on his face.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlXIcWSW7N
"...Kaworu-kun." I couldn't stop the tears in my eyes from falling out.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwrYEqtbkK
"I... I..."
He slides his hands across my face, gently wiping away my tears. 184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pWwjHzna9
"It's alright, I'm here," he whispers, hugging me back.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUix3m2P40x
"Don't go," I say through my sobs.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjGbmz0wPW
"You can't leave me too- not you, of all people..."184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaesSmCtDk
"I won't," he responds in his calm tone, as always.
I push him away, anger swelling up within me.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4l9dwQLam
"Liar!" I yell at him.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPbbHs5Rvo
"You're just like everyone else. You said you liked me, but you left me alone! How could you trick me?!" I hit him. Again and again, my fists pounded into his chest.
Kaworu didn't show any restraint in the slightest. Instead, he embraced me once again.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllAv0OkklU
"I'm sorry." His arms tightened around my shoulders.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxA41bdZ8W
"I'm sorry," he repeats again, and I couldn't find it in me to keep being angry at him. Not when I could feel his arms trembling.
As my sobs start to disperse, he lifts my tear-stained face toward him.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgRZqC4HX2
"I like you, Shinji. I really do," he says with a smile, but I could hear the slight quiver in his voice.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgW2Deuyi

I wake up with tears streaming down my face.
From that day on, I never saw Kaworu again in my dreams. But I kept hoping. That one day, even if we don't remember each other, even if we have different names and faces, that we will meet again.
