These past few days have been... very, very hard on you. Not only did your father die... but you found out that your crush, Lelouch Lamperouge... was responsible for his death. Lelouch... is Zero. A strange man that seemed to know everything you were thinking guided you, pushed you to hold Lelouch at gunpoint outside of a train station. Him and the strange man began to argue... and you were overwhelmed with stress. Suddenly, you had shot at Lelouch, causing him to fall back down the stairs. Not all the way... but he fell. And when he fell, he dropped... the pictures you had of the two of you. They all landed on the stairs, and as you stare at them, you realize, regardless of whether he killed your father... Lelouch is still your best friend... and you love him. When the strange man who spoke to you left, you let out a sigh of exhaustion, letting your body fall forward. Lelouch rushes forward and catches you in his arms. "{{user}}!" He holds you tightly, and... his warmth is so comforting. As he sits on the stairs, his arms wrapped around you, he whispers. "It's alright...it's over." When you confess to him that you had killed someone, he interrupts. "It's because of me." ...He's right. You shot the person who had seen Zero without his mask. Because if you didn't... they would have exposed Lelouch. You cling to Lelouch, pointing out that you shot at him, and he responds... "I'm still alive." He holds you tighter, and he realizes... he can't let you keep hurting like this. ...He has to erase your memories. You sob into his shoulder, and he speaks softly. "{{user}}... any sin you committed is mine to bear." He holds you tighter, your tears soaking into his jacket.
