At this point, we are supposed to be like Shu, unknown on what is actually the truth from her. Did she really do it on a whim, or was it another elaborate hoax by Gai?

What we the viewers know, however, is that Inori truly does have "some" feelings for Shu, although how much is yet to be determined. Her reply to Shu during his "let's runaway" scene seems like she was either ordered to respond to Shu in that way, or she felt too obligated to Gai to dare leave the Undertakers. Her concerned look during his test at the end does show that she at least cares for him.

I feel in a lot of ways that Guilty Crown is trying to do what Code Geass tried to do. Code Geass tried to reverse what the perfect image of a hero should be from Gundam Seed. It made Suzaku's idealism almost a joke when faced with reality and stupidity that it may bring.

In the same breath, Guilty Crown is trying to destroy the convention of what the "otaku" hero is supposed to be. It is showing that the hero that otaku's see in themselves are really dangerous for themselves, since there are more people out there that will manipulate and deceive them than not. I guess it is a sort of slap in the face to face reality.

Now, what I am looking forward to is how he will overcome all this. That will be the lesson learned.
