✜007 [video | voice | action]

[Euphie turns on the video, revealing herself standing outside near the apartments with a bag over her head. She giggles a little, which contrasts with the sad face carved into the bag itself. She's just following out a dare Hikaru had given her.]

Hi, everyone, I just wanted to clarify that I was under the curse to be a secret admirer a couple of days ago. I'm very sorry for any confusion or embarrassment that I might have caused. Zero, you were incredibly nice about it. Thank you so much, and I hope you didn't actually eat any of those horrible muffins. I don't know how I convinced myself they were a good idea!

Oh, and this is Euphemia for anyone who doesn't recognize me like this. [Giggles again.]

I was one of them. [But not one of them too, because she is the reason they died.]

Lady Euphemia...

I'm the reason they died.

I don't believe that.

[Long pause] I gave the order...and I fired the first shot.

The fact that you're taking responsibility for all of it leads me to believe that... you're not the only one at fault.

[ wow, pulling a page from Yuri :D ]

I...I did try to fight it. I didn't want to do those things, but... It was like a curse. And I still did it.

Then it wasn't your fault.

I understand that sometimes we're forced to do things we don't want to because we hope that things will get better after that... but- I believe you. I believe that the Lady Euphemia that I have come to know can never give an order like that.

[His faith in her makes her feel better and worse.] Flynn... Are you nearby?

I can be, if you wish for me to be.

Can we...talk in person? [No bag.]

Yes.

[ ...Bag or no, Flynn won't judge you ;-; ]

Should I go to your home then? [She remembers where it is from the party.]

If that's fine with you. There are a lot of people living with us, though. I don't know if you would be comfortable with that.

[She almost suggests that they just go into his room, but maybe he shares that too?] Okay. I live in apartment 7, room 107. I'll be there.

All right. Please, wait for me.

[ ~~cue romantic music~~ Erm. ]

[She returns to her apartment and waits for him, feeling nervous. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to talk to him in person. It would be harder, but he already knew and... Just breathe.]

[ Flynn doesn't think here; all that he knows is that Euphemia needed someone to talk to and that as a friend, it was his duty to comfort her. Listening to her little sniffles over the network, and knowing that this was something terrible for the princess... Flynn knew that he had to come, had to do something to make things right.

He stands in front of the Euphemia's apartment some time later and knocks. ]

[She opens the door and looks at Flynn with his soft blue eyes and his messy blond hair. The colors are wrong, but she is still reminded of Suzaku. Strong and gentle and there for her. Except Suzaku isn't here and Flynn is. And, surprise, she's hugging you, Flynn, right there in the doorway.]

[ Flynn is surprised by the immediate reaction from Euphemia but... doesn't make a move to push her away. In fact, he lets her continue cling onto him as tightly as she wished to... to comfort her. ]

Lady Euphemia...

T-thank you for coming. [She pulls away after a little while, blushing slightly.] Please come in.

[ Flynn shakes his head, smiling gently. ]

I couldn't possibly not come...

[ And he enters the apartment only after the invitation. He's slightly, very slightly, conscious now about imposing... but Lady Euphemia's well-being is top-most in his mind at the moment. ]

[She leads him over to the couch in the living room. Lelouch isn't home. She's not really sure when he might return.] I was afraid to tell you.

[ He sits on the couch and waits for Euphemia to take a seat as well before responding to her statement. ]

... I understand. [ he says simply at first because, maybe- maybe her fears weren't unfounded, but Flynn knows that he couldn't have reacted otherwise now... not when he knew Euphemia was just like Lady Estellise; a kind-hearted being... someone who couldn't be faulted for the things she claimed was her own fault. ]

But I'm glad that you told me.

[She nods a little and then speaks softly.] I am to.

I don't... I don't want to lie to people, but it's hard to talk about.
