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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Tz1iLoOZ
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEZMKGxKBJ
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcyiA9TGGS
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF7hu22YBr
"...Kaworu-kun." I couldn't stop the tears in my eyes from falling out.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ALUMF0hGp
"I... I..."
He slides his hands across my face, gently wiping away my tears. 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbACcXcK29Y
"It's alright, I'm here," he whispers, hugging me back.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx0suqD7Te
"Don't go," I say through my sobs.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GlUv1waE0
"You can't leave me too- not you, of all people..."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAbnzPpYxZ
"I won't," he responds in his calm tone, as always.
I push him away, anger swelling up within me.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY1O6P6IZt
"Liar!" I yell at him.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43hkA2k6wN
"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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbfx4h0Ng
"I'm sorry." His arms tightened around my shoulders.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDypYo7nD
"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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve2YGlcOb1
"I like you, Shinji. I really do," he says with a smile, but I could hear the slight quiver in his voice.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFWc9zWqDu

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.
