Lelouch, Charles and others in “Unfinished Business”

What is Geass? I wan't the truth.

How strange. A child who's wrapped himself in lies desires the truth from others.

What?

The false name and false mask of Zero - what has it gotten you?

Everything! It's gotten me all of the things that ordinary people can never obtain. Followers. Territory.

You lost Euphemia. Suzaku and Nunally are also lost to your lies.

Shut up! I did what I had to do. People lie to survive. No one is blameless.

You want others to know your true self, yet you only show them a false face. How can anyone know you if you don’t reveal yourself? If you hide behind masks, you are afraid that they’ll find out who you really are.

No!

In the end, your lies serve no purpose because you are me and I am you. All else is illusion. Though there are worlds without end, there is but one being; in the past, in the future, and now, there is only one.

One? What are you saying?

C.C.

Charles. Play time is over now. There's nothing in it for me now, no values in the games anymore.

C.C.?

C.C.

You don't have to cajole him like this to get me here. I already exist in this realm.

True enough, C.C. In that case, I shall grant your wish.

You know what C.C.'s wish is?

C.C.

Lelouch, it's time you know the conditions of our contract and what I desire. My wish is to die; to end my existence in all worlds forever.

But why? Why would you want to die?

C.C.

In the final stage of Geass, the user attains the position of the one who granted them the power. Thus, you have gained the power to kill me.

Kill you? C.C...

C.C.

Of all those I have made contracts with, none has ever reached that point. But now there's Charles. He has done it.

You mean... You made the contract with me so you could cease to exist?

C.C.

Correct.

But why would you want to die?

C.C.

It's providence; a boundary. Only when it's final can we call it life.

That's wrong! We call it life because we feel it.

C.C.

Same thing. There is no life unless there is death.

That's just word play, it's not real!

C.C.

People die, that's real.

Why are we born at all? What's the purpose of it? The meaning?

C.C.

You know the answer. Those things are all just illusions.

No! Living just to die is too sad.

C.C.

Without death, all we have are just random events. Accumulation. You can't call that life. If you have a reason for living, then you have to kill me. Do that and you'll be Charles' equal. You'll finally be able to beat him. So fare thee well, Lelouch. You're too kind to end our contract.

Wait! You're - Aaahhh!
