"Euphemia..."
That had been Geass going out of control.
But Lelouch did not argue, nor would he offer such a "flimsy" excuse.
She was right. It was all his fault.
His mistake had been trusting Geass too much.
Back then, everything could have ended. He, Nunnally, and Euphemia could have lived in peace.
But...
There was no turning back!
Lelouch clenched his teeth, struggling to hold on to his reason as he roared:
"Do you really trust that man so much?! Hmph! He's nothing but a hypocrite hiding behind a mask, just like Schneizel! Once he's done using you, he'll throw you away without a second thought!"
"...How ugly, Lelouch."
His outburst only made Kallen calm down.
She shoved Lelouch to the ground and said:
"I'm glad I met Ask. If I hadn't met him, I'd still be kept in the dark."
"And you'll never understand how powerful he is. Frankly, ever since I met Ask, right up to today, I never once thought you could win."
"Not for a single day!"
"The gap between you two is far too wide."
"If he's a hypocrite, then you're just a bastard who uses Geass to control people's minds!"
"But you don't have to worry about your own older brother killing you. Ask isn't exactly kind. You could even call him a pretty terrible person. But at least he doesn't casually use his family or kill his own brother and sister like you do."
"There's something Ask told me."
"Clovis took control of Area 11 so he could look for you and Nunnally."
"He set up a special search team behind the emperor's back. They searched for you and Nunnally every day, praying they could bring you home."
"And in the end, you killed him."
Clovis...
Came looking for me?
