Code Geass: Bonds

Use everyone you can. Never show compassion again.

>>Heartbroken?

>Yes. He’s changed. He’s not the same as before, even though we used to be the best of friends.

>>Poor fool. If you can’t let him go, then become his most important pawn. Then checkmate his enemies one by one.

I am A.A.

I possess a powerful Code.

I have no feelings whatsoever, and I will never love anyone.

Yet, in turn, no one will ever love me.

Human beings

are creatures who seek happiness.

The Britannian boy Lelouch

wanted nothing more

than a little happiness.

Nothing extraordinary.

At least, the impulse behind his actions

was the utterly ordinary, deeply human wish

of an ordinary person.

Who could deny

such a dream,

such a vow?

And who would have the right?

But still,

whether we want to or not,

we must connect with others,

connect with the world, and restrain ourselves.

Our fate is already set.

So,

if one person’s feelings

are placed above the will of the world,

then that person is nothing but an aimless, insubstantial existence,

carried along by the tide.

Sin and punishment.

Fate and judgment.

What stands before Lelouch

is the past he himself created,

and the hatred that is part of being human.

Even so, we should be grateful now.

Yes, at least

for the fact that human beings seek happiness.

A faint wish, a quiet hope.

Hope is born from despair.
