K-Kallen...? A-ARE YOU GOING OUT WITH LULU TOO? B-But I thought Subaru was! Was what Shirley going to say, but she already asked Kallen this before, and besides, Lelouch wouldn't date two girls at once, right?

"Eh? Of course I'll still be your friend Kallen!" Shirley replied cheerfully not knowing what Kallen was about to explain to her. "I'll always be your friend!"

IT IS OKAY! WATCH ME BE LATE TOO!

Kallen put her gun away, trying not to scare Shirley off the second she arrived. She had been nervous and needed something to fiddle with, but such a dangerous tool should not be used as such. She sighed and continues to stare at the floor, barely able to make eye contact at all.

"Shirley...There's no easy way to say this at all. I'm..." she swallowed hard. "I'm one of those Britannia has labled a 'terrorist.' At night, I work for the Black Knights led by Zero. Specifically, I pilot a Knightmare. The weak, tired girl you knew at school is not me. This...this terrorist girl you see before you is. I'm so sorry I hid it so long. Just know, Shirley, that I can and will protect you in this land if needed. You're a trusted classmate. Please...don't judge me. I fight for you too.."

She sat and waited to see how Shirley would respond. Each second felt like a year to the poor redhead as she waited to see what her friend would do.

/SOB SORRY I'VE BEEN BUSY. ; 3;

"I can't believe this..." she started to mutter. So Kallen's secret was about the Black Knights and nothing to do with Lelouch at all? She felt a little silly for thinking about that.

Shirley shook her head. "Zero killed my father... Kallen, doesn't Zero fight for the weak? That was what my father was fighting for. I don't get it..."

She looked up at Kallen and managed to smile. "Don't worry about it Kallen, I forgive you. Besides, even if you did hide your true self at school, all those times that we hung out with each other are true right?"

She extended her hand out. "We're still friends right?"

YOU ARE FORGIVEN

[gurenmaiden]

"Shirley..." Kallen's voice became weak. Tears formed in her eyes, but she tried to push them back. She had to be stronger than this, not just for her, but for everyone here.

"You know...it could have been one of my attacks that killed your father...I will never know for certain if I did or not...but do know that seeing you cry for him weighs on me. I do not want to kill like that. Please...If it was me...Know how sorry I am..."

She sniffled and took hold of her hand, clasping gently. "O-Of course. Nothing can change what we have done together. Thank you..."
