Hard, but not impossible... that's exactly what Cornelia is going out to do right now

Tried what?
letting her know what she did was certain to torment her and put her through misery... a life of internal torment, a life of madness, internal torment followed by suicide, or dying happy... the concept of "a fate worse than death" rings very true in some cases.
Lelouche and Suzaku were really thinking on similar wavelengths... "let her die with happy thoughts"... i kinda wonder, how would people had reacted if Suzaku had told her the truth and she died with tears in her eyes... the only difference between what Lulu did and what Suzaku did was that Lulu's choice was a lot harder to make. Imagine if you will if Euphie had survived being shot and was going to recover; how do you think Suzaku would have dealt with the situation... we know he would not kill her, but i have a lot of trouble figuring out how he would deal with it with out her going into intense sorrow and pain... the truth would hurt her far more than any bullet

Which is why part of my post emphasized that Cornelia would be rendered speechless if she was asked what she would have done in Lulu's place... She'd would not be able to offer a solution that would keep her from suffering greatly but at the same time would never be able to agree to killing her... it's a complete loose-loose situtation; the only question being how badly they loose. And we should not forget that she was also Lelouche's first love and he did care about her; especially when he realized that she had not be corrupted like his other brother's and sisters were over the years, she was the same girl he knew from the past

Also,how can we be so sure that she'd want to die but not to redeem herself?I don't think Euphie's as weak as everybody claim her to be,she tried to fight against her geass unlike every other characters,right?
|
Care to offer what she could possibly do to redeem herself... afterall, she was already using all of her power to give the japanese full recognition as japanese and restore their status; doesn't get much higher than that. is there anything more she could really do to even begin to redeem herself? not to mention the fact that the Geass was forcing her to kill the japanese (we have seen no limit to how long the geass lasts), which includes ordering soldiers to do it for her... she was actually a risk to them as long as she lived; one minute she's sending them relief the next she orders a soldier to kill them (only one who could stop her geass would be charles and his geass research, but we know that he doesn't care that much for his children)... hate to see what happens when she succombs to the geass and ends up hurting Suzaku... depression... seclusion... madness... Euphie would have fallen apart if she knew what she did.

It was not Lelouch's fault his geass went out of control but he chose the easy way out,he sacrificed one of his family to become a "hero" and it was the most convenient way to achieve his goal..I can't feel any sympathy for him after all that...
|
The easy way out... what exactly were the good alternatives?
Let Euphie live and allow her to go through the torment of knowing what she did?
If letting Euphie live is the "hard way" for him, then it comes with the baggage that it is also the "hard way" for her... he damns her to torment at the same time
Expose himself to clear Euphie's name and try to explain the unbelievable about his geass; then his mother's death goes unavenged, a cruel dictator will continue to rule, and if his identity gets exposed in the chaos then Nunnually would be put at risk as well... exposing the geass would be the only way to stop the japanese from rebelling... Unfortunately, Lulu exposing himself and claiming responsibility would not at all ease Euphie's soul and she would still be tormented with the knowledge that she killed hundreds of japanese.
he could have decided to sit out the rebellion, and just let the japanese fight on their own with him refusing to lead... but that would have meant instant failure for them and it would just result in a massacre
loose-loose no matter what you do... you say it's the easy way out, i say it's cutting you're losses... in a loose-loose situation the best you can do in situations like that is cut your loses as much as possible.
not to mention we know that killing euphie was not to inspire revolution or make him look like a "hero"... the inspiration was done when she ordered the genocide, and he already had the "hero" status... he didn't gain much if anything from killing her; he had everything he would have needed the moment she started killing the japanese

There is another point that has not been discussed, when Anya spotted two lelouch's on her gundam during cupid event if anya reported this to anyone would this speed up the chance that lelouch will have to ditch the academy sooner than expected?
|
y'know, one thing that i think helps give Lelouche some safety from her is her personality and her lack of knowledge zero's true identity. her personality seems to be that of someone who does not speak about anything without much reason (she just might ride it off as her seeing things or some weird school prank)... it doesn't seem like she will actually say anything about it unless it somehow relevant to what someone else is talking about... And if she has been kept in the dark about Zero's identity then she would not know that the double lelouche was the solution to the mystery of how zero could be in two places at once... if she hasn't been kept in the dark then there is no reason for her NOT to report what she saw
thinking about it, Lelouche should be glad the Suzaku was not around for the event... he would have been one of the few people to notice that Lelouche was suddenly VERY athletic. (really, the ashford family didn't get Lelouche a maid, but a ninja maid?!)
