Kallen's gone ... it seems no one stays for long in this place, do they?

Kallen's gone... ?

[geassed]

...Yes.

I'm sure she'll be back, though.

[justasystem]

I guess that's selfish, though.

[geassed]

A bit. But it's understandable as well.

Are you friends with her, too?

[onetruejustice]

The unfortunate thing is that at some time or another, they'll always return.

[geassed]

Mm, it seems that way, doesn't it?

[A few moments is what C.C is willing to give - and had given to - him. A few moments to gather himself, but not enough to slip on the mask that he shows to everyone else.

She turns the handle on the door, opens it, and enters. She doesn't knock, because there is no need to. She's seen Lelouch in everything he does, she knows him, and this time is no exception.

What is it, C.C.?

[She's not bothered by his reaction, nor does she choose to answer his question. It's unnecessary, and she knows that he should be aware of why she's here.

There is no judgment in her voice, no sympathy. There is only an odd kind of understanding only she possessed, even as she moves to settle on the bed.]

Is that the best move for you to make? [She speaks to Lelouch, not Zero, and it's clear enough in her tone.]

[She speaks to Lelouch, but Lelouch doesn't want to think as Lelouch right now. If he does, he simply cannot guarantee what sort of words will spew from his mouths.

He speaks as Zero without the mask, still staring at the scenery outside of their apartment.]

It is. It's the only thing to be done.
