The lines between us were so thick we died of them. A little more each day. I hated him.
Liar.
Betrayer.
Murderer. Murderer.
My friend, we were loyal once. Fraternity of future and past patricides. Truth hedged in lies. You … We were always so strong, weren't we? We sinners. We used to laugh. You were horrible at singing, but Nunnally always told it was beautiful. And you were so horrible at running. Your stamina was pathetic.
We were always together, weren't we?
I loved you.
I loved you.
A couple of damn masochists. All you wanted to do was live.
All you wanted was to die.
Selfish bastard! I hate you! I hate you! Why couldn't you stop? Why couldn't you just stop?
The only stop is death. A rolling stone only goes downhill faster.
Riddles. Even now, you're a liar. The two of us, we're damned, aren't we?
Unforgivably.
You damned to die and I to live.
Yes.
You poisoned everything I loved.
I did.
You broke me.
You can't break the broken.
… You grew up so beautiful, Lelouch. The world was torn apart and you and I were on opposite sides. A Japanese as a Knight of Rounds and a Prince leading a revolt. It would have been easier to let me die.
A lot of things would have been easier.
Part of me, a very small part really wanted to live for you, Lelouch, and the other wanted to die simply to defy Zero. You made me into a real bastard.
I remembered all the times we smiled together. I remember your face crunched beneath my boot at the place we first met, a starburst clutched in my hand. I remembered hating you, hurting you. And I remembered loving you, kissing you, holding you. I remembered begin your enemy and being your knight.
Lelouch, how can I hate someone who wants me to live so badly?
How can I love someone who controls me so absolutely?
I felt the sword push through you and all I could think is this is twisted. I didn't want you to die. Just everything you stood for. You were prepared for this from the start, weren't you? You were prepared to die from the moment you first used your Geass.
Idiot. Selfish fucking bastard. Even dying, I felt you smile as the pieces all clicked into place. You and I were cursed. I killed you and you killed me.
This mask is my coffin.
Lulu.
Susaku.
My king.
My enemy.
Destroyer.
White Knight.
My friend.
My love.
We are Zero.
