Euphemia and Shirley eyes widened more. Shirley trembled.
"Dead?? But... Then... Where is he? Where's Lelouch?" Shirley stuttured.
Luna looked at Shirley sympathetically, wishing she didn't have to tell Shirley this.
"Well Lelouch... He didn't quite make it..."
"What do you mean he didn't make it?!"
"Shirley... Lelouch is going to Hell..."
Luna turned away and left. Shirley no longer was trembling, but was shaking, and Euphemia was holding her, trying to help comfort her. Shirley was crying hysterically, the first angel to ever cry in Heaven. Yet it didn't even feel like Heaven anymore, without Lelouch, it could've been the same as Hell. To make things worse, she was going to be reborn, not leaving her one opportunity to see Lelouch.
No... she thought. This is as bad as Hell...
A whole week had passed before she was able to gather herself together. Now she was determined to be able to see Lelouch, even though she wasn't completely sure how. She went over to Luna and asked her for a favor.
"What?!?!?!" Luna yelled. "No!! Absolutely not!! You'll never get out!! There's no way!!"
"I don't care!! I refuse to take no for an answer!!" Shirley screamed back.
After hours and hours of wearing Luna down, Luna finally agreed to it.
"Fine. I will ask, I'll go back to you tomorrow and tell you what's to happen from there."
"Thank you Luna."
Shirley left and met back with Euphemia. Euphemia was excited to see her, especially since she had no clue where she had went for over a week.
"Shirley!! Where were you?! I was so worried about you!!"
Euphemia hugged Shirley.
"I'm sorry for worrying you Euphie."
"Well are you gonna tell me? Where were you??"
"I met up with Luna..."
"Really? Why?
Shirley looked down for a moment.
"Um... Euphie?... I'm not gonna be here long..."
"Why? Because of the the rebirthing?"
"No... Euphie... I'm going to save Lulu!"
Euphemia looked at her in awe. Then a worried look took over her face.
"Shirley... You can't possibly be going there..."
"I have to do it. I'm sorry.."
"But it's Hell!! What if you don't get out?!"
"Well then I'll accept that, as long as I see him once..."
"Couldn't you rethink this??"
"I've made up my mind Euphie. When Luna comes back, I'll be leaving then."
Euphemia hugged Shirley again, like a mother holding her newborn child protectively.

Later on that day, Luna came back to tell Shirley what she had to do. Euphemia anxiously waited with her to hear.
"Well, He decided to let you go. He assigned me as your guide there, but after that, you must know that you will be on your own," Luna explained.
"On her own!?" Euphemia yelled.
She looked at Shirley, her eyes showing how terrified she was just hearing this. Shirley simply looked back at her.
"This was expected, I'll be prepared," Shirley stated.
"Well then get ready now. We'll leave in an hour."
Shirley left and prepared for her journey.
"But Luna-"
"Euphemia, this was her request and it has been granted," Luna said. "And besides, it's Shirley.. She wouldn't dare live without that boy. Even if we did somehow keep her here, she would definately be miserable. This is really the only thing we can do..."
Euphemia remained quiet for a bit, then sighed.
"Unfortunately... You're right.."
