I'll be right back, so
just wait there for me, Lelouch.

<Volume 1 was so popular that we're getting a second printing!!>

Damn—

<heavier steps>
Sorry for the wait,
Lelouch.

C.C.
This site isn't any—

C.C.
Lelouch?

C.C.
(!!)
(Where is he?!)

C.C.
<pant, pant>
(Lelouch!)
<pant>

C.C.
<pant>
Lelouch...

C.C.
Lelou—...

Lelouch!!!

C.C.
Lelouch!

C.C.
(The wound's already healing...)

C.C.
(This failure³, a body that repairs itself...)
(This isn't what Lelouch wants!)

C.C.
(It's such a... perversion⁴ of his will and his resolve. To leave him like this—)

LELOUCH
Ugh...

C.C.
And what have we learned, Lelouch?
Not to wander off on our own, I hope?⁵

LELOUCH
...
<sink⁶>

C.C.
<sigh>

C.C.
Well, this place was useless, too.
Nowhere left to try but Zilkhstan.

C.C.
If we can get to the Aram Gate,
hopefully...

SHAMNA
...

SHAMNA
Gather everyone.
I have a prophecy to impart.

<TO BE CONTINUED in PART 4>

^{1 Specifically an archaeological site, the location of ruins, etc.　↩}
^{2 Obviously Lelouch isn't literally disappearing, this sound effect is just trying to convey that he's dropping out of view. ↩}
^{3 Same word that Shamna keeps using, but in いても tense. C.C. sounds like she's talking about the Zero Requiem and what might be called Lelouch's "botched" death — but she might also be talking about not having been able to restore Lelouch's consciousness yet. ↩}
^{4 This (捻じ曲げる) is the same verb often used to discuss Lelouch's geass: twisting, distorting, perverting people's will. ↩}
^{5 C.C.'s wording here is, I think, meant to sound rather like a parent chiding a child. ↩}
^{6 シュン is a sound effect for looking (emotionally) wounded. When you sink in on yourself and feel bad. Usually the result of being talked down to or hurt by someone else's words. ↩}

IIRC, his Code seems to be unstable or something too, so each potentially fatal injury is a roll of the dice. But maybe they'll be more clear in this manga?

(Doubtful, if the ambiguity was intentional.)

I wish the movie made that a bit more clear but it appears that Lelouch could not only disappear on a whim from C's World but his next fatal injury could also be his last. As much as I enjoyed Lelouch of the Resurrection movie, I think it could have been better if it was made into 12 episodes or a few OVA movies to flesh out the story and characters better.
