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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfftr1A4xe
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn9rsx1BGb
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1he0Eobqd
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeIOWEeMOQ
"...Kaworu-kun." I couldn't stop the tears in my eyes from falling out.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4hSKhU9dw
"I... I..."
He slides his hands across my face, gently wiping away my tears. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8QNXy6gvJ
"It's alright, I'm here," he whispers, hugging me back.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8SIa3VNyL
"Don't go," I say through my sobs.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYAQrBW0X
"You can't leave me too- not you, of all people..."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEwwb8mbAW
"I won't," he responds in his calm tone, as always.
I push him away, anger swelling up within me.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSWTmskD6U
"Liar!" I yell at him.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ycAokabA
"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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtyjGVNaiC
"I'm sorry." His arms tightened around my shoulders.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6dSE6rMxI
"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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h9l6HJyqj
"I like you, Shinji. I really do," he says with a smile, but I could hear the slight quiver in his voice.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvy5818stG

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.
