[shinji breathes into the microphone, static erupting through the speakers in short bursts.  he sounds as if he's been pushed past the verge of tears and onto the brink of absolute panic, but he has to do this.  he has to.]

Kaworu-kun...he's gone.  It was strange that he was gone so early this morning, but I didn't think about it.  Now it's been hours and he's not back.  I called his job and his phone.  They haven't seen him and he won't answer.  All his things are here.  Even his violin is here.  He'd never leave without it.  I can't find him.  He disappeared.  Kaworu left.

[an audible gulp, a shaky sigh.] And I can't find him at all.  Tell me you've heard from him.

Please.

... I'm afraid I don't really know him. What does he look like?

[giving concrete facts is less stressful than contemplating all the wrong answers to 'where has he gone?' he lists without much inflection,] Kaworu's tall and has white hair and red eyes. He's really pale, too. You'd never forget him if you saw him.

[An albino...? Yes, that would be a face not to forget.] Very well. I will be sure to inform you if I see him.

Of course. Don't think too much of it, though.

[these two, man.]

[being praised for refusing to acknowledge the kindness shown to him? this is confusing. go for the safe answer.]

Thank you, sir.
