Summary; All the more reason to despise the deities and their curses. Setsuna
demands to meet with Lelouch personally after he has the pleasure of seeing the Tianzi, Shirley, and Lelouch's memories.
Log;
If the desire to rise up against the deities was borne from the sheer futility and peculiar monotony of living within the city, and if, before, Lelouch vi Britannia had no real motivation to harbor any form of deap-seated hatred towards the deities... now, now he certainly had something to lay blame on the deities for. The past few curses had been nothing but disastrous to his cause, and if he didn't play his cards right tonight, it was highly possible that what little of the new rebellion he had become would never see any form of development... or fruition.
The abandoned shed in Xanadu; Setsuna had demanded they meet as soon as possible, but Lelouch knew that he could afford to be slightly late. He needed the time to prepare. For one, he was well aware of the strong disadvantages he had in physical prowess. Though death could no longer have so great an effect on him, having died once already and the city having very different laws regarding the living and dead, he still disliked the idea, the prospect, of being so completely vulnerable against Setsuna. That is, should things go beyond diplomatic
He made a mental note of what Setsuna would want answers from; the Tianzi's memories, Zero, Shirley and everything surrounding her death. It was highly likely- no, it was completely possible that Setsuna had an idea of what Geass was. There was the option of coming clean and explaining the situation in detail to Setsuna, in an attempt to win the boy's trust but--
But, Lelouch had to admit, he had very little trust himself in Setsuna. That trust of his was reserved for a very small number of people, and none of them were present in the city.
As he neared the abandoned shed, he stopped, in thought, before looking backwards for a brief moment. Then, when satisfied, he continued walking towards the shed. The night was cold, but not too cold. Spring was definitely just beyond the corner. It allowed him to wear a light jacket that he zipped up, to shield from the cool winds.
