Lelouch firmly saying to himself with utter convinction, "be cold and callous", "I was wrong to rely on feelings", "if my soul stands in the way, then I'll toss it aside!", immediately proceeding to have an emotional breakdown two secs later will always be my mood
I actually really hate this guy sm you basically said “fuck Nuzi, fuck Nuzi shippers, fuck this show and fuck Liam Vickers” all bc of your couple with 0 screentime not becoming canon and you label it as “opinions”
The villain stopped their frustrated pacing to round on the hero.
"Can't you say something already?"
The hero raised a lazy brow and remained silent.
"Aren't you worried at all? We won't both get out of this unscathed. The decision I'm about to make here will ruin either your life or mine. And how come this is such a difficult choice?" With a low groan, they rubbed both hands down their face. "I mean, no offence, but this should be a no-brainer. I should just ditch you. Why can't I just ditch you? What the hell is wrong with me!? This shouldn't be so hard."
"Why not both then?"
They blinked. "Huh?"
"Ruin both our lives," the hero offered, still so annoyingly calm and collected, encouraging smile at the ready. "That way you’ll neither have to face the guilt nor shoulder the consequences alone. We'll be in this together."
As if together wasn't what had gotten them into this mess in the first place. As if together wasn't the very reason for their new-found lack of self-preservation.
They took a deep breath and sighed. There was no right answer; they'd lose something no matter what they chose. Well then...
Time to make a choice worth regretting.
