Part 4

C.C. POV


The time had come for her last wish to be fulfilled. She was glad that Suzaku hadn't kept her waiting for too long. But then again, she hadn't expected him to. His desire to see this through was just as great as her desire to see this end.

The place she had chosen was one filled with memories of her most life-changing time, before she met Lelouch. As one was passed to her here, so will she pass it on to another in turn. It was fitting, she thought. A tribute to her past.

When he arrived, she had been kneeling, the same position that she had taken when Lelouch met his death. She turned towards the young man standing before her, a smile on her upturned face. That smile, imbued with hope and joy, compelled him to kneel in front of her, taking one of her hands in his before pressing a kiss to the back, his wordless gratitude expressing itself through that simple touch.

Her golden eyes closed in relief as time that had been stilled started to flow again. She won't ever have to see anyone else die now.

Her last thought was to wish the two who were left behind peace and joy.
