“And your new girlfriend?” C.C. asked, interrupting his thoughts again by drawing attention towards one of those very complications. “Where does Miss Fenette factor into everything? Do you actually like her, or is she just another pawn in your grand game?”

“I don’t know.”

It was a difficult thing for someone like Lelouch to confess, but refusing to recognise the answer to that question was something he would not ever allow himself to do. Before recent events had spiralled out of control he had viewed Shirley as a friend, another member of the student council. Then it turned out that she had a Stand. A powerful Stand at that. Too powerful for her to control properly. So powerful it was causing her undue amounts of stress in an already incredibly stressful situation. On top of that, if Schizoid Man and her own behaviour was anything to go by, then she should have a rather significant crush on him. Which he exploited. And then? Then he killed her father. Then he put her into a situation where she took a life. And then she’d still followed him, even in spite of that. How was he supposed to feel about that?
