:P I have trouble understanding what you mean about Shirley getting in the way of Lelouch emotionally. Getting in the way of what? If you follow Lelouch's emotional development to the end of the series, it's more like Shirley guided and supported him rather than getting his way. Shirley was the one who helped Lelouch realize what he really wanted and had all along (Turn 7), and she also taught him how to believe in the hearts and feelings of people (Turn 11). Without what Shirley did for Lelouch emotionally, Lelouch wouldn't even understand what happiness is, and the good intentions behind Zero Requiem wouldn't exist--in the face of his meaningless revenge and rebellion against Britannia, as he finally realized in Turn 22, Lelouch really wouldn't have been anything but meaningless noise. Lelouch's emotions for Shirley (among other characters) represent everything good about his character, so if his feelings for her ever got in the way of anything, then those things weren't good or necessary in the first place.
