I kind of got the sense that after Z-R that Kallen will move on. She is a strong person and she will continue down her life. She may keep Lelouch in the back of her mind but life goes on for her unlike that other ace pilot we know ... ... cough cough Suzaku. Remember what lelouch said she can do everything if she puts her mind into it. Plus, it shows she is working with Rakshata with knightmares and seems like she is still doing well at school since she usually reads a lot. Just imagine one of your fellow classmates pulling Z-R and you were part of the World Wars. Kind of a hard memory to toss away. Then all of a sudden your leader/classmate/crush turned into a ghost. almost an impossible thing to forget. Maybe you can write about the conflict about being the normal student and playing the black knights. Being in the upperclass, but hanging out in the ghettos. Killing (Shirleys father, enimies, defending rights) along with saving. I'm not sure if Kallen even shot somebody face to face since she usually destroyes behind a knightmare. Being half Japanese and Britanian. Just think of a Tug of War for life with your fellow friends, classmates, family members, and comrades.

Sorry, that was bad phrasing on my part. I just meant if you preferred the interpretation that they were closer xD
Well, if you want sad, the maybe something along the lines of her coming to the conclusion that Lelouch didn't feel the same way (of course, we'll never know), but moving on with her life. It's sad and melancholy, but still positive development. A little angsty heartache's always fun to read. I like to think she was quite happy for the rest of her life, anyway. |

As for writing that you can waste a box of kleenex to (in a wholesome way), I would recommend reading some of the stories by 'Dear Aerith' particularly 'For Two' as that story will f**king break you. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1422962/Dear_Aerith I'd offer the idea of building the story around the idea that Kallen is living Lelouch's share of life as well as her own, similar to what Euphemia asked of Suzaku. |

Kallen was answered perfectly by Lelouch. That may sound odd but the situation placed Lelouch in a situation where he really couldn't do much. If he let his emotions best him, he'd place Kallen right in the firing line for the ZR climax. 'Betraying' her and placing her on that execution stand was a selfless token. To all the Black knights, but more-so Kallen as the other BK's were so quick to switch on their leader. "Live on" was perhaps more than Lelouch planned on telling Kallen (as it hinted her to the full realization of his ZR plan). I suspect Lelouch wanted to cut as many cords as he could manage before the end, as he did with Milly and Rivalz whom i don't believe were as close to Lelouch but were certainly like family to him. "Live on" came out while Lelouch thought he was check mated by Schneizel, it was more of a dieing wish more than anything (he certainly didn't expect Rolo to save and sacrifice his life for him), but i think it was for the best.
Kallen couldn't be answered surely in life, she's the stubborn type and would definitely follow Lelouch into the eye of the storm, but in 'death' she got the message. Quote:

LOL when did Arbitres get kicked out of the clubhouse? Last time I was on he was in good standing with the Kalulu members still on AS. Hell Blade had a Kallen Suzaku sig for the longest time and he's still a made man in our la costra nostra.
Now I think as a Kalulu fan with the dawning of a new age upon us (a new show) we should embrace Kallen fans off all shapes and size. We can at least stand under united as one for Kallen. Unless you're a Kagino fan of course. We're not having any of that srz buisness

Alright I concede to the fact that I didn't need to take a shot at Kagino. Still though for the record this fandom is one of the more sensitive and back stabby ones I've come across.

i doubt she needed him to tell her "i love you" to stay by his side had he simply continued in his fight to free japan. joining him in Z-R, on the other hand, is a different matter. since in THAT case, he would have asked her to betray EVERYTHING she ever fought for, give up on her dream of a normal life with her mother, and attack (and possibly kill) people who have been like her family for years. THAT, might have required more then just a "you're a good subordinate"

Can't say I'm a Kallen fan
Sorry for all you Kallen fans out there, but I actually felt quite a bit of animosity towards Kallen from the moment she felt betrayed by Zero whom the Black Knights/Schneizer revealed was Lelouch until her monologue in the last episode. It's so wrong for her to be happy and relishing in the future that Lelouch gave up his life to create when she turned her back on him.
Maybe the reason I really despise her so much is because she posed such a strong threat to Lelouch in his rise to power. She was a first rate pilot with a top of the line Knightmare and she was capable of taking out Lelouch's people with ease, aside from Suzaku (although I still haven't figured out if Suzaku's defeat was intentional for the realization of Zero Requiem, I mean what if he accidentally really died? who the hell would carry out Lelouch's assassination?) Anyways just wanted to throw my two cents out there. If only Kallen was as loyal to "Zero" as Rolo was to Lelouch I would have respected her more. Perhaps she's just too headstrong for my likings. Particularly in one of the finals scenes where she was teary-eyed upon seeing Zero/Suzaku kill Lelouch. I almost wanted to laugh in her face for having been so blind until then, if I wasn't already so sad by Lelouch's death. And I thought Shirley's death was sad, boy was I wrong. I'm fine with a ShirleyXLelouch or even CCXLelouch but I will never stand for a KallenXLelouch pairing. I know no one asked for my opinion but I just wanted to vent out some steam here. |

if Lelouch WANTED Kallen at his side during the final arc, she would have been at his side during the final arc. LELOUCH decided he'd rather she live on and enjoy the future he gave his life to create. are you going to argue with Lelouch ?

When the Black Knights betray him in Turn 19, she's the one defending him until he drives her away, on purpose one must note. Then he goes and turns that around by telling her to live on within earshot. She spends the next few episodes trying to convince a bunch of unreasonable people that they're being hypocritical jerks then tries to find Lelouch before they can. It's only until Turn 22, when he absolutely refuses to even acknowledge her (again, on purpose) that she decides not to follow him. It also takes Lelouch acting completely evil to finally make her turn. By your logic, no one really deserves happiness. Quote:

Not to mention that Lelouch set up Zero Requiem because he lost his own will to live following the betrayal, as it largely served as a self-serving excuse to die while bringing about "world peace". And a pretty flimsy world peace at that given historical precedence, not to mention one brought about by bloodshed. Point here being that had Lelouch stayed the path prior to the betrayal, he could have brought upon a more stable sense of freedom to the world, and not have to cause all of that terror, or have himself killed. And Kallen wouldn't have been beckoned to stand against him either.
