EUPHY
Hello. Did I wake you?

SUZAKU
Euphy?
<squeeze>
No, I actually just got out of the shower.

EUPHY
I'm sorry to call so late, but there's something I need your opinion on...

SUZAKU
Oh?

EUPHY
Lelouch... How well do you think he really knows C.C.?

SUZAKU
<spittake>

SUZAKU
Euphy...
That's—
<cough>
How do you mean?

EUPHY
Actually, it's been bothering me for a while...

EUPHY
I just
have this feeling that I met her when I was little.

SUZAKU
When you were little?

EUPHY
Yes!
So I can't help worrying!

SUZAKU
I can see why.

EUPHY
So I've decided to learn more about her!
And you'll help me, Suzaku.
<serious!>
For now, goodnight!

SUZAKU
Wait just a—
Euph...

SFX
<dial tone...>

SUZAKU
Just what is she planning?
I've got a bad feeling about this...

C.C.
<groan>

SFX
<rustle>

LELOUCH
All right.
That's a good stopping point, so let's take a short break.

C.C.
Come to think of it...
Nunnally, don't you ever have friends over or anything like that?

NUNNALLY
<Um>
Well, you see...
I do get invited out from time to time, but usually...

C.C.
...

SFX
<clatter>

C.C.
Say, Nunnally.
Why don't we go out together this weekend?
Call it a girls' day¹.

NUNNALLY
Oh—
Can we really?
I'd love to!
<shine>

LELOUCH
(Wh— what did she just say?!)

NUNNALLY
I can't wait!
<excited>

C.C.
<Heehee.>
It'll be a bonding experience!
We'll go to lots of different stores.

LELOUCH
(This is terrible.
Will she be all right if C.C.'s with her?
No, more like because C.C.'s with her that I'm worried...
Is this anxiety?
But... it's Nunnally, I can't help thinking...)

NUNNALLY
<O—h>
Just so you know, Brother,
you can't come with us!

LELOUCH
What, why?!
<buh>
C.C., this is your fault!

C.C.
<I didn't say a word~>

NARRATION
That Weekend

C.C./Nunnally
Well, we're off!

LELOUCH
...Right. Take care.
<Don't stay out too late!>

LELOUCH
Remember, C.C.!
I want regular updates.
if you run into any problems, no matter how minor, get in touch with me immediately.
And when it comes to Nunnally's diet, nutritional balance is cruci...

C.C.
Fine, sure.
Bye.

LELOUCH
(...Nunnally really seems to be looking forward to this, but...
can I really entrust her to C.C....?)
<grumble, grumble>

NARRATION
Mid-Stakeout

EUPHY
Ohhh...
Taking Nunnally out today, is she...?
All right!
Let's go, Suzaku!!

SUZAKU
Yeah...

C.C.
<This really suits you!>

NUNNALLY
<Thank you so much!>

C.C.
<Let's check out that place, too!>

C.C.
Speaking of which...

C.C.
What kinds of food do you like, Nunnally?

NUNNALLY
Um...
Whatever my brother makes!

C.C.
Figures.
You two are really close, huh?

NUNNALLY
<Yes!>
As long as we can be together, that's all I need.

C.C.
Siblings, huh...?
How sweet.

NUNNALLY
C.C., do you have any siblings yourself?

SFX
<dropped!>

LELOUCH
<Dammit!>
(Why hasn't she gotten back to me even once?!)

C.C.
I wonder what that would've been like.

NUNNALLY
You know...

NUNNALLY
I think my brother's been having more fun since you came here, too, C.C.

C.C.
Oho?

NUNNALLY
His voice usually sounds so composed... but not around you!

LELOUCH
<C.C.!!>

C.C.
Ohhh...?
Is that so.
In that case,
I'll be sure to try and draw even more interesting reactions out of him for you.

SUZAKU
They almost...
look like sisters, don't they?

EUPHY
<sobbbb>
C.C....
<sniffle, sniffle>
What a kind person...
<Say,>
Suzaku.
All this staking-out has made me hungry.
Shall we go for crepes?

LELOUCH
(Dammit... I can't help worrying.)

LELOUCH
(I need to see what's happening for myself.)
...
(If I track Nunnally's phone through GPS...)

LELOUCH
(...Hmm?)

LELOUCH
<That's strange...>

LELOUCH
(Well, well... what are those two up to?)

C.C.
<Hmm?>

C.C.
...

C.C.
(...Well, well. Don't they have anything better to do?)

C.C.
Say, Nunnally.
How'd you like to go to a lingerie store?
There are a ton of places with cute things around here...

NUNNALLY
<Oh, yes!>
I'd love to.
It's not easy to go shopping for things like that with my brother...

LELOUCH
(What a relief...
Nothing of note seems to be...)

SFX
<ta-dah!>

LELOUCH
(Hey, hold on there! How can Suzaku stroll in there so casually?!)

C.C.
<Hahaha...>
<That boy won't be coming in here.>

LELOUCH
...!
......!
.........!

C.C.
Heh...
<ta-dah~>
Shall we take a little break here?

NUNNALLY
Yes!

EUPHY
Huh...?


C.C.
I really do think I've met her somewhere before...

SUZAKU
Ohh...
Maybe she's a childhood friend of Lelouch's?

C.C.
No, I don't think that's...
Oh!

C.C.
Following people around and spying on them, huh?
You people need a better hobby.

EUPHY
I— No...
This is just...

SUZAKU
<Ahaha...>

C.C.
And that goes for you, too, Lelouch.

C.C.
Let Nunnally know why you're here.

LELOUCH
<jolt!>

LELOUCH
Dammit—
Spotted?

EUPHY
You, too, Lelouch?!

NUNNALLY
Hmph!
I can't believe you!
Even though I said you couldn't come!

LELOUCH
No!
You don't understand!
<I'm, I was just...>

SUZAKU
Nunnally—
I'm sure Lelouch being here is just a coincidence!
Then he saw us spying on you,
and thought we were behaving suspiciously...

C.C.
Hmph~?
Well, I guess that's not impossible...

C.C.
<grin>
To celebrate this chance encounter, why don't you take us all out to dinner,
Lelouch?

SFX
<silence...>

LELOUCH
Y— Yes...
Of course...

LELOUCH
(...I said, in an effort to maintain the lie...)
