While I was reading up, doing research for my essay, I can't stop thinking about how Lelouch can erase ALL of Shirley's memories about him... すべて...
Shirley is Lelouch's high school classmate. Not only they are in the same class, they are also members of the student council. It has been established that Shirley has a huge crush on Lelouch. However, unknown to her is the fact that Lelouch is actually, Zero, the masked-leader of the rebel/terrorist group, The Order of the Black Knights.
One day, Shirley asks Lelouch to catch a classical concert with her. Some complicating stuff happened before the event and when they met, Shirley couldn't help buy cry (her dad was killed in action in a battle that involved Zero).
Guess the emotion was too much for her to take, she eventually stole a kiss from him. Lelouch however, doesn't seem very unwilling. First hint that he could be interested.
The following night, (with the help of this antagonist's chee bye), Shirley discovered that Lelouch was actually Zero, the guy who'd "murdered" her father.
The next day, poor confused Shirley visited her dad's tomb. Some more confusing stuff happened. She met Lelouch and he realised that she had uncovered his secret identity. Left without a choice (he doesn't want to kill her - second hint that he's interested), he erased himself from her memory. Here's their final hug where Lelouch appologised, asking Shirley to "lay her sins onto [him]" (she'd shot someone in order to protect Lelouch's identity as Zero).
Sigh...
DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING 凄惨 IS THAT?! To be unable to be together because one party doesn't love the other is bad enough but to be unable to be together because of external circumstances is fucking sad lah!
Just before Lelouch left the place, he bumped into her again at the tomb. She asked him if he lost someone too.
Here's the evidence that her memory has been erased.
Do you know how bad he feels? Well, I do. I certainly do.
All I can think of now is this...
Imagine...
"喔 第一次我 说爱你的时候
呼吸难过 心不停地颤抖
喔 第一次我 牵起你的双手
失去方向 不知该往那儿走
那是一起相爱的理由(对我) 那是一起厮守
喔 第一次吻 你深深的酒涡
想要清醒却冲昏了头
喔 第一次你 躺在我的胸口
二十四小时没有分开过
那是第一次知道
天长地久"
Yet, you can't remember. The saddest thing is not that you can't remember, but that you don't even know that it was once part of your memory.
The series hasn't ended and I hope that her love for him will be strong enough and that she will fall for him again.
Life itself is already 凄惨 enough, anime doesn't have to be 凄惨.
