This one is Markus' thoughts on Suzaku.
Suzaku;
I had met you when you had first joined the Knights of the Round. You were so nervous that it made Gino and I laugh. Though, the laughter that we felt before vanished as the story of your past came to our ears. We hadn't lived a life like that, nor had we seen one. We had grown up with riches, and a family to love us, even though mine we technically dead, I did still have the Ashford's. You were an Honorary Britannian, a Japanese citizen that had given up their Japanese culture to serve Britannia. Of course you were seen as scum, and not everyone liked you, but the world had been forced to accept you, for Princess Euphiemia had with such ease. Of course, now that you were one of us, Gino and I accepted you without issue. A careless arm slung of your shoulder and a friendly laugh, and you felt like one of us.
But, now you were gone, a victim of the Emperor Lelouch. You had willingly accepted to become his knight, after everything. You were Euphie's knight, and you lost vision of that. I wanted to find you and hit you for that, but you were lost. Both Cornelia and I would stand at your gravestone for hours, staring down at the inscription that marked the marble slab. Even Arthur, your cat would stand with us, his gaze not once leaving the slab. I wondered many times if he were praying, or silently speaking to you.
'Knight the Zero. Suzaku Kururugi. 2000-2018. here lays a consummate and invaluable knight to His Highness Lelouch VI Britannia, 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannia Empire.' To me it was more of a tombstone for that royal demon that had killed you as a tool to fight. You were none of that. You had worked so hard through your life to achieve what you wanted. I felt like tearing the slab of concrete up and shattering it, replacing it with something that stated what you truly were. 'Here lies Suzaku Kururugi. Knight of Seven. Honorary Japanese. May he live on for what he fought for.' I knew even Cornelia agreed with me on that. You were more than what Lelouch put you across to be. Some best friend he turned out to be.
Your blue cape had been draped over the stone; Arthur would curl up under it, resting peacefully over your resting place. I guess now he adored you more than anything, and that only made me laugh. Cornelia had stood with me for only an hour before moving off. She mourned for you, for you had protected her sister, had been with her beloved sister until the last seconds of her life. She wanted to thank you, but she had never gotten around to saying it, nor had she apologized. I could tell she felt guilt, something we all felt in this war.
Well at least you and Euphie could be happy now, together, just like you wanted. You could watch from wherever you were the peace that would slowly cast over the world once Lelouch was dead. You could be happy for us.
