>>3011795>since Kaworu doesn't even seem to be interested in him beyond their goal. And what exactly do you think that goal is?
Because he sure as hell didn't teach Shinji piano for shits and giggles.
It's the necessary step in order for both of them to properly synchronize with each other, so that they can... redo or recreate the world via impacts and instrumentality, at least as far as we know.
> he's being so fucking vague all the time and never shows half of the romantic interest that Shinji shows in him. He's pretty much friend-zoning him at this point.>calls Gendo "father" in 2.0, referring to the Japanese custom of husbands calling their father-in-laws just "father." This implies that he sees Shinji as his "wife.">Tsurumaki joking that Kaworu "was taking his bride by force" after stopping the impact at the end of 2.22.>First thoughts and words in 1.0 are about him sensing Shinji's awakening and hoping to meet him.>Refers to their meeting and acts during impacts as "the promised time;" not only in the movies but in the damn Universal rides too>Ishida informing that Anno already told him "who Kaworu and Shinji are" well before Rebuild's production>Kaworu says that "the irresistible and deep bond between us both will guide you" before getting his head blown off in 3.33; translators didn't catch this or incorporate it at all in the subs or the dub.Nah he's still madly in love with Shinji, it's more like he's repressing his romantic interest & advances with Shinji, as well as the truth about the two of them in favor of not fully devastating Shinji if something were to go wrong.
Basically, Kaworu wants to get all of the hard shit out of the way, then tell the truth and elope with Shinji after. Which is valid and understandable excuse, at least to a degree.
