KALLEN
<Heeeey>
Get your report cards here, everyone!

SFX
<reach!>

KALLEN
<startled>

C.C.
<stands up!>

KALLEN
<Here you go...>

C.C.
...
......!!!

C.C.
(With these scores, forget about the top three...)
<crumple>
(Maybe... the top ten...?)
(...)

C.C.
<crushed>
<ow... ow...>

EUPHY
C.C.?
I think class is about to start?
Where are you...?

C.C.
<thud...>

RIVALZ
Heey!
Report card delivery!

LELOUCH
Oh, thanks.

SUZAKU
That's our Lelouch!
Top of the class again, huh?

LELOUCH
(Hmm, probably.)

MILLY
Seeing you top the class is pretty much a given at this point¹...

LELOUCH
(How did C.C. do?)

SFX
<beep>

TEXT
C.C.,
What marks did you get?

LELOUCH
...

LELOUCH
(No response?)
What's wrong with her...
<?>
Well, whatever.
Guess I'll check in with her at lunch.

LELOUCH
Hey, Kallen.
Is that C.C. girl here?

KALLEN
C.C.?
Sure, she's...

KALLEN
She stepped out of the room this morning, then...
I guess she never came back.

LELOUCH
What?!

KALLEN
You don't know what's wrong with her, either, Lelouch?

LELOUCH
No.
But she still hasn't responded to my message...

SHIRLEY
Lulu!

LELOUCH
!

SHIRLEY
Did you come here looking for C.C.?

EUPHY
We've been looking for her, too, but so far no luck.

LELOUCH
!

LELOUCH
(Where on earth did she go?!)

LELOUCH
Apparently she hasn't returned home, either.
Is it alright if I look with you?

GIRLS
Of course!

SFX
<run>

SIGN
School Infirmary

LELOUCH
(The infirmary...?
That's one place we haven't checked.)

RAKSHATA
Oh, dear.

SFX
<whoosh>

RAKSHATA
Are you injured, too?

LELOUCH
Ah, no.
I'm just looking for a friend—

LELOUCH
C.C....
Is she here?

RAKSHATA
Dear, dear...
<Hmm?>
That's just it~.

LELOUCH
Huh?
And by that, you mean...?

RAKSHATA
Your girlfriend
is awfully depressed, you know.
Be nice to her.
...I'll be just outside.
<whoosh>

LELOUCH
My girlfriend...

LELOUCH
I'm opening the curtain, C.C.
<shwipp>

SFX
<doooooom>

LELOUCH
...What did you get on your report cards?

C.C.
...

LELOUCH
You shouldn't need to take remedial classes.
Aren't you glad?

C.C.
No.

LELOUCH
Why not?
This is the result of your hard work, isn't it?

C.C.
Nobody's glad when crummy things happen.

LELOUCH
Is this about our agreement?
Because...

C.C.
<jump!>
It's not that!

C.C.
I just worked so hard with all of them!
And yet, I couldn't do it.

C.C.
Even though...
we all worked so hard together!

TEXT
Cheese

LELOUCH
<heh>
What, is that all?

C.C.
What're you saying?!
I...

LELOUCH
Shirley and the others...

LELOUCH
They're not going to think any less of you over this.

GIRLS
C.C.!
There you are!

SHIRLEY
<Thank goodness!>
<Are you sick?>
<Will you be okay?>

KALLEN
<You made her cry, didn't you!>
<What did you do to her, Lelouch?!

EUPHY
<Now, now, Kallen...>

C.C.
No, it was nothing.
I'm fine.

C.C.
!

C.C.
Hey.
Lelouch... you...

LELOUCH
What is it?

C.C.
What you said...
was right.

LELOUCH
Isn't that
why I said it?
