"Oh, I assure you, my motives are entirely transparent."

The boy rolled his eyes. "Yes. Almost impossible to see. Although that's a lie; certain of them can be discerned, such as your desire for stability. And, I might add, your megalomania."

"Oh, Mr Nagisa, that is sweet of you," said Kei, lowering her gaze, as if embarrassed. Kaworu immediately threw himself back, earning himself a small round of applause, and, perhaps more importantly, not getting cut in half by the giant bladed pendulum which swung through where he had been standing. "And that was an impressively fast reaction to a false display of modesty. Perhaps I am getting predictable." She paused. "Perhaps I should be nicer to you for longer periods without trying to maim, kill, psychologically destroy or otherwise harm in matters mental, physical, or social."

"I would like that."

"Well, I do have to keep things fresh." Kei tucked back a strand of blue hair. "And on that subject, I have a new simulation I think you might actually like."

Kaworu raised a hand. "Wait a moment. Does it involve any of the following? Cybernetic giant squid with laser tentacles and Eva-grade armour?"

"No."

"Laser grids, with one set of visible light ones, and then another set of UV-spectrum ones?"

"No."

"Making me fight an Evangelion on foot?"

"No. And, anyway, you won that one."

"Logic puzzles with two guards, and a sign saying one door leads to freedom, the other to death, and that one guard always lies, and the other always tells the truth, and I am permitted one question, but actually behind one door is a nest full of angry Japanese hornets, and the other a sexually aroused female polar bear?"

"I really can't believe you actually fell for that one twice, but, no."
