"Really?" Kallen was surprised to hear this, "Does he have much resemblance to Ein as well, umm just to be sure you know, Ein does kind of look like the 99th emperor."

"Yes, I saw them leave all of a sudden and coincidently they are not here today in school," Leiya said, "Well, that's all I wanted to say, I don't know anything else, so please don't ask me anything dealing with this topic," She walked away.

In Kallen's mind,

Hmm, this is very odd, first is that a student comes in and looks a lot like Lelouch and the second is the thing Leiya just said, everything is so confusing right now, I don't know how to respond to what Leiya just said, should I tell Ohgi or should I keep it to myself for a while to see if the person Leiya was talking about is really Lelouch.

Ring Ring Ring

The bell rang and class resumed to the normal standards. Afterschool though was a different story, on a normal day, Kallen would just go home and relax, but today she went to meet Gino for an emergency meeting. She went to his office, when she got in, Kallen saw Gino writing some papers. She walked up to him and greeted him politely. Gino gave her a smile and asked what she was here for.

"Gino, a student, I won't say her name, came up to me and reported that she has seen a man yesterday in the back of the school during the attack, a man that looked a lot like Lelouch, "she said, "But that is not all, it is such a coincidence that the Kimura brothers was with him, and left with him in the same car, don't you find that a bit odd?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do, when we were fighting the enemy knightmare yesterday, I did happen to see three people in the back of the school, but I couldn't see who because well we were in a battle," he replied, "Now, it kind of makes sense, I think the guy that met the boys was their father, and their father did happen to have a very close resemblance to Lelouch."

Kallen was shocked to know that Ein and Gin's father looked like Lelouch. She had hoped to never hear his name again because no one wants to remember what he has done to the county, and it will bring up memories that she hoped to keep locked up in her mind.

"Well, why wasn't I informed of this information before, if he looked like Lelouch the best thing for you to do is to tell me because I can recognize anyone!" Kallen became mad all of a sudden, "If I had known about this then I would've been able to meet him again!" she started to tear up and dropped down to the floor.

Gino looked down for a bit and heard Kallen crying, he stood up on the chair and went towards Kallen. He kneeled down and gave Kallen a hug.

"I know that you miss Lelouch, but he is gone now, there is no way that someone can be reborn from death," he said, "I will always be here for you anytime and anywhere, so all you have to do is just come to me with all of your problems."

Kallen looked up and their eyes met, they went closer towards each other until they could feel each others' breathes, and then a person knocked on the door. Kallen and Gino snapped out and stepped away from each other.

"Dr. Gino, you have a meeting with all of the super intendances in five minutes, are you ready sir?" he said.

Gino stood up, "Yes, I am, I'll be there soon, Kallen, I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean for it to go too far."

"It's ok," she stood up and wiped away her tears, "Don't worry about it, it was my entire fault any ways," she ran outside, she ran to the student counsel room. There was a big table and it had a cardboard box on it. Kallen walked up to it and opened it up. Inside there were pictures of the old Ashford Academy crew, it was during the time when Milly was president and everyone was happy. Kallen became happy all of a sudden, seeing all of the pictures made her smile, she saw a picture of the making of the largest pizza, the time when Arthur had his initiation party. They brought back memories from the past; Kallen sat down and picked up a picture of Lelouch. He was working on some paperwork and had a concentrated face. Kallen remembered what Gino said,

I know that you miss Lelouch, but he is gone now; there is no way that someone can be reborn from death

She will now forget about Lelouch and all the bad things he did to the county, she knew that he was a good guy after all, but will not tell anyone about the plans on the day of the Zero Requiem.

"Lelouch, I hope you hear me, I promise to continue to make this world a better and peaceful place to live in," she said.

Ohgi and his daughter

"Dad, I can't wait tomorrow I get to go to Ashford Academy!" she declared, "I'm so excited I can't sleep, it is so nerve-racking to have to wait until tomorrow, oww my stomach hurts now!"

"Reiko, I told you to never jump up and down after you finished your dinner, it will make you have a stomach ache." Ohgi said.

"Yeah, but I'm so excited, the fact that I get to meet many people there makes me so happy!" she shook the bed, "I want to meet many people and become the best student ever!"

Villetta came in Reiko's room, she saw how Ohgi and Reiko were having a fun conversation.

"Reiko, I know that you are excited to go to Ashford, but there are limits to how much you could be excited," Villetta said, "You are fifteen now, you have to act like an adult."

"Mom, I know that I have to act that way, but it is fun still being a kid," Reiko said, "I want to enjoy my life to the fullest also!"

Villetta sighed and talked to Ohgi for a bit and then left the room. Ohgi was tired so he told Reiko to sleep.

"Tomorrow is the big day!" he said, "So that means that you have to sleep early tonight."

"Fine, ok dad," Reiko said and then jumped on her bed, "Good night dad!"

She went to sleep. Ohgi closed the door, and went to his room. Villetta was on the bed sleeping. He went to bed and in his mind he thought,

Man, today was tiring, hope nothing bad happens tomorrow at Ashford.

He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Pendragon Imperial Palace

Zero was escorting Empress Nunnally to her room. They were talking on their way there.

"Empress, what are you going to do about the attack at Ashford that occurred yesterday?" Zero asked, "The counsel is wondering what you will do."

"I will do the best that I can to control the act that happened yesterday," she said, "Is there any information on the mysterious knightmare frame?"

"No, we have no idea what that knightmare was and who it belongs to," Zero said, "All the information we have is that the pilot is very skilled in controlling their knightmare and on the head there was a diamond-crescent shaped mark."

"Well, if that is all we know then we are in trouble, we have to figure out a way to stop anymore attacks from happening," she explained, "I will head out to Ashford tomorrow and talk to Dr. Weinberg about the attack."

"Your highness, are you sure about going there, who knows when they will attack again?" Zero was worried about her majesty, "I would like to request to go with you and I would like to use the new knightmare model that Lloyd is creating."

"Yes, you may go," she said, "I will just have a talk with Dr. Weinberg."

They continued to her room, once they got to her room, Nunnally asked Zero to leave. He left the room and Nunnally went to her bed. She lay down on the bed and thought about the meeting with Gino.

I have a feeling tomorrow will be a very long day.

She went to sleep after that.

Zero's Quarters

Zero was in his quarters and was thinking about the meeting tomorrow. He thought about the kid who looked like Lelouch and why Nunnally didn't say anything about it to him.

"I want to meet that boy and if he looks like Lelouch, I don't know what to do, no one can be reborn from the dead."

Lelouch, is it really you? No it can't be you.

"I wonder who that boy's father is."
