Explorations in philosophy.

[notdogmatic]

I cannot find my husband.

At a time like this, some further reading is required, since this arena of human relationships is not one I had considered extensively. Wollstonecraft, Kierkegaard, Witte, and Dworkin have all produced relevant texts which those concerned with the present state of their relationships might wish to study. Plato addressed the matter more obliquely. If anyone with extensive philosophical interest in contractual, sacramental, or metaphysical unions who wishes to supply their perspective, I would appreciate it.

In the meantime, I will continue my search.

Mister Holmes. Please be gentle with Shinji. He has previously expressed a variety of uncertainties worth considering on the subject of physical consummation.

Yes.

Are polyamorous marriages legal on the island?

Ayanami would be an ideal mother if I wished to have children.

[chosenthird]

Polyamorous...?

...I think so, too. At least, ought of the girls I knew back home, she felt the most motherly, somehow.

You would like to have kids?

[notdogmatic]

A marriage involving more than two people.

Yes. She is certainly more motherly towards you than the others.

I have considered the matter. Many things about having children would be desirable. There would be drawbacks as well.

In many ways, you and I being able to share her would be ideal.

...Ah. I don't know, I don't think I've seen anybody in one... It's not usually accepted, is it?

Drawbacks... like what?

Oh. But I don't...

[notdogmatic]

In that case, there will have to be an affair involved there as well.

Genetic anomalies.

Why does there need to be an affair at all?! I don't wanna have to share you, Kaworu-kun!

That kind of stuff rarely happens, doesn't it?

[notdogmatic]

Not even with Ayanami?

I am pleased that you are territorial of me, however.

I think it is irregular, but the sexual deviation of exceptional people is historically well-documented.

Regardless of the future, I insist upon conducting an affair during our current marriages.

I like Ayanami-san! I just... It's dumb. Sorry.

Um, I don't understand - do you mean, if one of us were to have kids, they wouldn't be normal?

...I don't think Holmes-san would mind.

[notdogmatic]

... There is that chance.

Rather than discuss an unanticipatable future, you should come here.

I am the only occupant of my apartment at present.

[chosenthird]

...Ah.

I'll be there in a bit.
