I wish you'd leave.

I have no interest in
getting back together with you.

Let's just be friends.

Do I even know you?

Look at you!

You really get on my nerves.

Who the hell are you?

I couldn't care less
whether you live or die.

I don't love you
"that way".

I don't want you in my life.

To be honest,
you get on my nerves.

Stop following me around.

I can't do this any more.

Let's break up.

I don't need you anymore.

Who would want to go out with you?

I don't need you,
I never did.

Go away.

You wimp.

If it's too painful,
you can always make it stop.

If you don't like it,
you can just run away.

Do you want to be at ease?

Do you want to feel peace of mind?

Do you want to
become one with me?

To have our
bodies and souls join as one?

I'd rather die than do it with you!

Hey...

What is it?

What are dreams?

Dreams?

Yes, dreams.

"Does it feel good?"

I don't understand.

I don't understand what reality is.

You can't bridge the gap
between your own truth...

and the reality of others.

I don't know
where to find happiness.

So you only find happiness
in your dreams.

Then this is not reality,
this world where no one exists.

No, it's only a dream.

Then I don't exist here either.

This convenient fabrication
is your attempt to change reality.

Is that wrong?

You were using
fantasy to escape reality.

Why can't I dream that I'm alone?

That is not a dream.

That's a substitute for reality.

So, where is my dream?

It is a continuation of reality.

But where is my reality?

It is at the end of your dream.

Ayanami.

Where are we?

This place is a sea of LCL.

The primordial soup of life.

A place with no AT Fields,
where individual forms do not exist.

An ambiguous world...

where you cannot tell
where you end and others begin.

A world where
you exist everywhere...

and yet you're nowhere,
all at once.

Is this death?

Not quite. This is a world
where we are all one.

This is the world you wished for.

But this isn't right.
This feels wrong.

If you wish for others to exist,

the walls of their hearts
will separate them again.

They will all feel fear once more.

Okay then.

Thank you.

I only felt pain
when I existed in that reality.

So I thought
it was alright to run away.

But there was nothing good
in the place I escaped to either.

Because I didn't exist there,
and so no one existed.

Is it alright for the AT Field
to cause you and others pain again?

I don't mind.

But what are
the two of you within my heart?

We are the hope...

that people will one day
be able to understand each other.

And we are the words,
"I love you. '

But that's just a pretense.

A selfish belief.

Like some kind of prayer.

It can't possibly last forever.

Eventually, I'll be betrayed,
and it will abandon me.

But still, I want to see them again,

because at the time,
I know my feelings were real.

Reality exists in a place unknown,
and dreams exist within reality.

And truth lies in your heart.

The contents of a person's heart
shapes their appearance.

And new images will change
their hearts and their forms.

The power of imagination is
the ability to create your own future,

and the power to create
your own flow of time.

But if people don't act
of their own free will,

then nothing will change at all.

So, you must regain your own
lost form by your own volition.

Even if it means
your words become lost...

or confused with
the words of others.

Anyone can return to human form...

as long as they are able to imagine
themselves within their own heart.

Don't worry.

All living creatures have the power
to be brought back to life...

and the will to go on living.

Anywhere can be paradise,
as long as you have the will to live.

After all, you are alive,

so you will always have
the chance to be happy.

As long as the Sun,
the Moon, and the Earth exist,

everything will be alright.

Will you be alright?

I still don't know
where my happiness lies.

I'll still think about
why I'm here,

and whether or not
it was good to come back.

But that's just
stating the obvious over and over.

I am myself.

But, Mother...

What will you do, Mother?

When man created Evangelion,

were we trying
to create a clone of God?

Yes. Humans can
only exist on this earth,

but the Evangelion
can live forever...

along with the human soul
that dwells within.

Even 5 billion years from now,

when the Earth, the Moon,
and the Sun are gone,

Eva will exist.

It will be lonely,

but as long as
one person still lives.

It will be eternal proof
that mankind ever existed.

Goodbye, Mother.

How disgusting.
