Behold Lelouch depressing the hell out of everyone he knows in the final picture drama. Credit to
here. You can also click there if you want to read the actual crack that preceded this bawwwfest. Warning, it makes it infinitely more painful. Though, Geasscast has also decided it's headcanon that the picture drama is a manipulation of the World of C and Lelouch will continue to do freaky things to his loved ones until the end of time. |D gg lulu
Lelouch reflected saying the terrorist was right, he had no power and no army. He reminiscence that he once had it all, money, power and the world, but what was important was in front of him all along.
Then it was followed by his "last words" as previously translated on the comm:
"I'm sorry, Rivalz, for not saying anything to you, even to the end."
"Nina, it ends here for me but it's only the beginning to you. Don't worry, your talents are the real thing."
(Kallen noted his body is disappearing)
"Kallen, so you've returned to school." (Kallen said it was because her mom is fine now, she added but she was always her true self when inside the Knightmare, and Lelouch continued saying) "Don't give up, just go ahead and grasp everything."
(Nunnally said it was as if he's saying good-bye.)
"Nunnally, you can now see clearly. The truth of the world, difference between right and wrong, and your own future."
(Nunnally thought it was weird that he's saying that until she opened her eyes and can see his face)
(Suzaku told Lelouch to wait)
"Suzaku, I leave tomorrow to you. You have the power and the responsibility."
"Thank you, everyone. Not for yesterday, not for tomorrow, but just for today."
As Lelouch disappeared the group noticed Shirley, Rolo and C.C weren't there either. Nunnully finally understood. She asked Kallen what date was it. Kallen replied it was Dec 5, and Suzaku realized it too. Nunnally said it was because it was Lelouch's birthday, so it wasn't impossible that miracles happened. Nunnally said Lelouch has given them lots of miracles. Rivalz agreed and added it wasn't only them, he gave the world a miraculous present called "peace". Nina said they'll treasure this miracle forever.
The scenes continued back to everyone's daily life with everyone narrating their thoughts, which tied in with the serious moment from before. (I thought these are quite important lines as some of them are really touching)
Kallen - "Idiot! I wanted to forget, now there's no way that's going to happen."
Nina - "Now I remember what I was going to say to you, Shirley. 'Thank you for befriending me.'"
Nunnally - "Rolo, I know for sure we'd get along, because we both love our older brother very much."
Suzaku - "You don't need to say thank you to me, Lelouch. After all, this is your sin. But for today: Happy Birthday, Lelouch."
[Nayami note: This last line isn't quite correct. The truer translation would be "I won't thank you, Lelouch, because you are a sinner. But for today: Happy Birthday, Lelouch."
Keeping it in its true context, I feel, shows the constant conflict inside Suzaku for his fury against Zero and his love of his childhood friend and the one he could have had in Ashford if things had been different. It makes it SO MUCH MORE DEPRESSING and beautiful. ♥]
