Let me ease your pain...
Rolo gazed at Lelouchs face, frozen in another moment, and steeled his resolve because those things were behind him and he loved his nii-san and his nii-san loved him and it was okay, because
.because he
The time I spent with you was genuine. ______________________________________________________________________________________
There was a smile there for every memory. Every laugh, every tear, every whisper from Nunnallys spirit that had stalked him, haunted him with taunting smiles and disgusting innocence until that one night hed had enough and hed shared something with his nii-san that Nunnally would never be able to. ______________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks to that memory

And a bond had formed, and it would endure. Beyond time, beyond death, beyond hatred and betrayal. There, in the lines on their hands and the skin on their bones, in the tone of their voices and the way Lelouch made Rolos curry just the way he liked it. Not the way Nunnally liked it.
It was there, and it would survive. No matter what. ______________________________________________________________________________________
He could smell his own sweat, the scent of his death.
It was coming for him.
Icy cold fingers in a death grip around his chest. Squeezing, suffocating, smothering, crushing, defeating.
I became human ______________________________________________________________________________________
But Rolo knew it was okay.
