Who: Kaworu Nagisa, anyone else
Broadcast: text
Action: For now he's a busybody aboard the Vanquish, unless you'd like to discuss anything else.
When: 6/6, midmorning
They sell candles in packs of 8, 10, 12, 24, 48... and some packages even larger than that. Well, a certain type of candle, the kind that goes into the cake. Initially I needed exactly 16 candles, so the package of 24 would have been reasonable, right? But I thought it might be nice just to use all 24 after all.
Then I thought that a package of 48 might be just as nice as a package of 24. If not even nicer. It seemed worth trying.
Anyway, I have some sets of candles, now, the type specific to the cake, but if each candle represents a year of life, I wondered why I should stop at 16, 24, 48, etc. I have some bigger candles in my sleeping quarters, as well, so that's a few more I can add, but the higher the number of them I have, the less it seems like enough. It would be good to have a table full of them. A room full of them. It would be good to have candles like the sweep of stars.
I'm sure I can repay you, if you'd like to lend me any of your own. I promise I won't melt them all the way.

[It's amazing how she hasn't thought about the Wunder in months.]
All of us.
[She feels a little silly repeating that, but it's almost as if she's making sure of it herself. They've never had an us before, not any of them, for all the groups and factions vying for their allegiance. Real unity feels good.]
I like that.
[Another bite of mostly-frosting, and then she steels herself up for something that sounds casual but isn't at all.] You've been practicing since you showed me.
