Heroic ?

Err--- For someone who throwing herself even after receiving Suzaku advice,
An advice come from someone which is she believed as her last defense line in this world full of lies, and choose her father killer just because he saved her right when she's trying to commit suicide ...

It's far from heroic.

Thanks to Lelouch tears-- I guess ...
Make it quite sad because it's rare for Lelouch to shed tears even when he presumed Nunnally is died.

Shirley was the only female in the series that didn't annoy me. She was the only one that wasn't either completely overdone or a tool.
She's overdone by her own point of view as it's served her role as the closest war victim to both Lelouch and Suzaku.

The moment she chose Lelouch over Suzaku advices, her own experiences, and her valuation for her family.
It's clearly a fact that she's completely overdone by her own mindset. Not even a heroic act based on a power of love.
