[This is the third time in his life Kaworu has encountered someone who has something in common with him. He had once believed such a thing was only possible with te First Child, Lilith's soul taken the form of a human child. Then he met Frisk. A human child aware of the flow of time, and familiar with its role as a vehicle of fate. Now, a third.
Ginko.
Each one is further and further from him, like moons in distant orbit around a new planet.
That is who you were before, and it is who you are now.
[This is something Kaworu knows. That humans worry and struggle so much with it is proof of their flawed, fragmented nature. But it is true for them as well; above all, humans must be themselves.]
[There's a long pause before Ginko responds. This time, though, it's not because he's scared of how Kaworu will react, or too horrified to think of an answer. He's just... kind of stunned.
He can't recall anyone ever putting it like that. His lack of memories had been treated like an inconvenience, a problem. At best, it was just a matter of 'that's that' and nothing more. Something to resign himself to.
Something about the way Kaworu puts it makes it sound like it's not so much of a problem to contend it.]
...yeah.
Thanks.
[He can't be sure if Kaworu will understand that, but. He might as well say it.]

He wasn't expecting it. But, also--]
It doesn't seem to trouble you.
[It's not an accusation. It's an observation.]

Sometimes I... do wish I had some kind of memories from before. That I knew who I was.
But it's not as if I can do anything about it. So there's not much reason to worry about it.
[Except, you know. He does anyway.]

You are yourself.
