Remaining Sense of Pain

Only a year ago, one little year ago, he was smiling; he was happy. He was surrounded by friends; he had a dream that had the hope of being fulfilled.

But now what?

Now the only smile he could muster was cold and broken. He could wonder why this had happened, but it wouldn't do him any good. He knew exactly what had happened; it all began with Shirley's death and continued onward from there.

He began making regrettable decisions and horrible mistakes, each one leading to more and more death...

He could only wonder if things were destined to get worse and worse for him.

But of course, they were. He lost C.C., just like that. It took every fiber within of his body to hold his composure as she stared at him with eyes that spoke of unfamiliarity.

It continued on and on as Charles returned and Suzaku betrayed him. That meeting had been his last hope, his last lifeline. After its failure, he was on his own even more than he had been before.

And now Nunnally was dead.

So as the light of the FLEIJA began to engulf the city below, Lelouch went numb. So numb that he could not even cry. All he could do was stare blankly upward at the ceiling of the Shinkirou and ask pointlessly to speak to Nunnally.
