Code Geass

[Lelouch, shaken significantly by the reappearance of Emperor Charles, returns to his quarters, where C.C. attempts to offer him one last slice of pizza]

C.C.:
Uh, Master, I kept this last piece so you could have it. You left without having breakfast and must be hungry. So, please, if you--

Lelouch:
BE QUIET!

[Lelouch attacks C.C. in a fit of rage, shattering the plate she's carrying and sending her to the floor; he then relents as he sees her bleeding from a large cut on her finger]

Lelouch:
Hey--

C.C.:
[starts cowering, thinking that Lelouch is going to start beating her] Forgive me, Master! I'll clean it up at once!

Lelouch:
No! Leave it there! [starts attending to C.C.'s wound] Be careful now. You're bleeding.

C.C.:
No, it's fine. I'm okay. I get cut up all the time.

Lelouch:
[thinking] All the time?

C.C.:
Bleeding feels even better when it's cold. It feels warm on your outside. It stings a bit, but only on the outside, and that's always better than hurt on your inside. It's just, any kind of warmth helps make you try to keep going. [Lelouch is visibly shivering as he holds C.C.'s hand] Oh, lookit, Master, you're shaking. Are you cold now?

Lelouch:
Uh, yeah, maybe. Maybe I am. [C.C. starts holding Lelouch's hand as well] And the hurt on the inside…how's it healed?

C.C.:
You just think of… [pauses as she tries to think] …some friends.

Lelouch:
Huh?

C.C.:
I've never actually had one. Not like families. That always comes and goes. I mean, someone special who stands beside you. At least, I guess that's what I've heard that friends do.

Lelouch:
Yes, they do.

C.C.:
I'm right? A friend will stand by your side?

Lelouch:
Exactly right. A friend is always there.
