[So he's figured out how this tablet works now, so started reading back a bit. One thing has mostly caught his attention, so here he is.]

A lot of you seem adamant to abstain from offering your loyalty to the initiative, which...I understand in the sense that they are strangers just as much as the United Earth.

But should the claims of their forces attempting to raid your own home world be true, it would have disastrous consequences for the people you know still there. Is that worth the risk?

Or is there something else I'm missing here?

[C'mon people, he suspects he's missed something important. Give him some deets.]

[...]

You say it as if you want me to.

Well, I can only speak for myself, not the others.

And what would you have me do? Kill everyone? Or just you?

[He wouldn't oblige to the former but... call him curious.]

Before I ended up here, death was the only path for me to go down in order to find freedom.

I don't much appreciate that the Initiative took that from me.

Hm.

[A pause, as if he considers this.]

If you've got a deathwish, I'll oblige. Whether you live or die is no consequence to me, but I'm of the opinion the dead ought not to be resurrected as carelessly as the initiative think it so wise to do.

[That's interesting. Kaworu can't help but wonder what the extent of this being's powers are. But as much as he'd like to be gone from this place, he can't make that decision quite yet. Without missing a beat, he ignores the proposition, for now.]

And why do hold that opinion? Because they're going against your will?

[He could give plenty of other reasons that would sound valid, but in all honesty...]

That's right.

If Death could be so easily avoided, it wouldn't exist in the first place.

That's right. You're just the opposite - easily encountered. Final. Infalliable.

Now if more people understood that, Death really wouldn't be as bad as they expect it to be.

It's only when someone struggles as much as they can that they suffer.

Well, I think it may be a bit unfair to expect humans not to struggle, isn't it?

[he smiles, and then thinks for a moment.]

Humor me another question, if you don't mind - when you say the Initiative is resurrecting people, do you just mean when they bring Transports who have died in their own worlds? Or are they doing something more extensive?

So far, it's only the former.

If there's anything else going on I haven't caught wind of it yet. But with the way things are going here I wouldn't be surprised if they had some means of keeping their "army" alive. With how long things have been in operation surely people must have died already.

Hm. If they have the technology to bring people back in the initial instance, I can't see them not using the same methods to maintain our numbers.

[In other words, Death's offer to end him was a nice sentiment, but if Kaworu had to guess, he'd say it wouldn't work.]
