AN: Aah, I just can't get this out of my head. I don't know if anyone has written this type of story yet, but it was bugging the hell out of me, so I wrote this in biology class. Also, I rewrote this in a slightly different style. I liked the last version, but it was weird. I'm not sure if this one is better... Tell me what you think.
Unbeta'ed. And FFN hates me. The weird formatting is not intentional.
Part 1
Suzaku POV
.
Ten years of solitude had brought him to this point in his life.
He had abandoned piloting a Knightmare Frame for just as long.
His duties now consist of escorting and protecting Nunnally.
As well as being the prefect symbol of the protector of peace.
It's no easier a burden to bear than when he took up the mantle those ten years ago.
.
Some knew who he was.
Kururugi Suzaku.
But he had offered neither acknowledgment nor explanation.
They eventually accepted his silence.
No one had seen his face again.
.
He was treated as Zero, everywhere he went.
The man of miracles, valued for his opinions.
But the world can handle itself without Zero now.
It had learned to trust the leaders that it had chosen.
Zero had become unnecessary.
.
Tomorrow will be his epilogue to the Zero Requiem.
A requiem that he had no hand in scripting.
.
He had worked hard for his chance to rewrite the end.
.
Tomorrow, Zero will die.
