Based on Subtitles and My Japanese Co Worker, this is kinda nails it and also removes a lot of ambiguity about the series in the first place.

Like an angle

Who has forsaken sympathy

Rise up young boy and

Make yourself a legend!

Blue skies and beckoning winds

Are trying to open the

Door of your heart

But you're gazing at me

As if you cannot see

You just stand there smiling vacantly

Your eyes hold such innocence

You're blind to the fate

That will soon come to pass

But it's summoning you

With a touch like a sigh

You seek it without knowing why

But someday I know that

You will be awakened

And your eyes will finally see

These wings on your back are

Just waiting to guide you

The future will soon set you free!

This cruel thesis

A spiteful angel's litany

Will soon soar from the

Window of your destiny

White hot pathos

A desecrated symphony

Stay true to this and

don't betray your memory!

Come now, reach out

You must embrace reality

Rise up, young boy, and

Make yourself a legend!

You've slept for ever so long

Embraced in affection

And cradled with care

But with morning's approach

Comes an echoing cry

It tells you to wave your dreams goodbye

And the moon is shining above

It wishes to show just

How fragile you are

You're so frail and slight

In its silvery light

Our fate is not one we can fight

But someday I hope

That we'll be reunited

If that is what's destined to be

Perhaps we'll discover

That elusive bible

And then we will finally be free!

This cruel thesis

A spiteful angel's mockery

Will bring with it the

Sorrow of futility

Hold on tightly

And do not lose vitality

You must wake up, for now

the dream is history!

Come now, reach out

You must embrace humanity

Rise up, young boy, and

make yourself a legend!

Love is the thread of

The story that's woven

Of future and present and past

I may not ever ascend to the heavens

But I know my love will still last

This cruel thesis

A spiteful angel's litany,

Will soon soar from the

Window of your destiny

White hot pathos

A desecrated symphony

Stay true to this and

Don't betray your memory!

Come now, reach out

You must embrace reality

Rise up, young boy, and

make yourself a legend!

    The thing here is, the Asuka Japanese person is 22 and had just gone through her red seal and is technically a chef but has none of the experience necessary for it where he has worked this place longer than the rest of of, beating me by a year but his previous experience is Wendy's ans a local bar that serves okay food. He did learn a lot o. His own about food and whatnot and has decent logistic skills, I have no formal training but have always worked high end stuff and learned everything in the field over 15 years, I work the same hours as our sous chef and make him look really good cause that gives me a similar paycheck, people assume the same level of authority and none of the blowback mattering as much do I try to tsle some of his, cause tbh, he's not ready for the job. He's a geologist by education. He didn't want to pilot eva, so he's shinji. She is full training no experience and false expectations until recently, big Asuka vibes and it's her favorite character cause she really sees the show different than I so. I'm Minato cause I come to work half in the bag and stoned and direct these two forces

        I've worked NUMEROUS kitchens in my life and all in all we've got a really good group. The dynamics have.beem fuckddstelt cause Asuka is on maternity leave and chef Gendo (if gendo was our chef the Eva's would be a Red Green duct tape trebuchet) has been off for surgery so it's been Misato and Shinji in charge of operating NERVE and were both tired

        But yeh, the people are dope and we pay decent as far as kitchens go and have retained most of the staff for a while so at this point t we've all been working together for at least 2 years and there is some real nice coordination and solidarity that comes with working that hard together for thst long. It is pretty nice and thanks for reminding me

              Also these metaphors fall apart really fast and should t be taken seriously. Our chef is a doormat and played in punk bands and lived as a dishwasher until he had a kid on the way and therefore grant money paid for his courses, it's like if Misato knew all of Gendos bs before joining caue she worked with people who had worked at NERVE at her previous job and got the scoop from the..as as older punks who built Giant robots whe. He was a dishwasher, mymetaphor is falling apart
