But anyway. Yes. Lelouch. Oh, Lelouch. The simple answer is that Lelouch is one of the most important people in the world to her, if not the most important.
The longer answer is somewhat complicated, although a lot of the complication has gone away due to the fact that they've actually started discussing the events that led to and of the Zero Requiem. While she can't exactly argue his results (after all, it was something that she wished for), she does still harbor a belief that perhaps there was a better way to go about it. You know, without the dying thing. But, if she was honest with herself, she really can't see how he could have done something different. Not with the path he had chosen and set out upon.
I see their relationship as being both inherently complicated and simple at the same time. Simple, because honestly, she would never ever deny the fact that she loves her brother dearly and that he is the world to her, but at the same time, complicated because there are times Nunnally isn't sure if she's the little sister he remembers or not. Being Empress has changed her mindset slightly, being able to see again has made it so that she doesn't have to depend on others to do things for her, and in Nautilus, walking as helped fester an independent spirit that I don't think she's entirely realized she has.
I fear, as Nunnally takes steps on that path, it might lead to some growing pains/conflict (i.e., such as when she forcibly came along on the Lulu Rescue Mission). But at the same time, there's a part of her that relishes the fact that Lelouch is overprotective over her, because she knows the moment she steps back through that gate and back into their world, that support won't be there anymore. Also, if the Lelouch Rescue Mission has shown anything to her (and she's been rather good at hiding it especially from herself, because nothing disastrous has happened since then), is that she's scared to death to lose him again, whether it be to death, going back to sleep or if he leaves for an extended bout of Ashura business. Having ascended has helped with this somewhat, because now she has abilities that she didn't before, becoming one of Lelouch's Angelii even more so, because now she has an even stronger bond with him then she did before, she just wishes the bond went both ways, since clearly you can't care of yourself, Brother. XD
And because you really can't discuss Lelouch with her without getting a passing mention of Suzaku; at first, when she discovered that Lelouch and Suzaku were together, she was a bit taken aback. Not because she was disgusted or anything of the like, far from it, actually. She was trilled to discover that both he and Suzaku had managed to build a life for themselves in Nautilus and the fact that they had found someone special, especially in each other, made it even more bittersweet. No, she was taken aback, because she was sad - because she hadn't been in Nautilus to celebrate it with them and because Suzaku never told her. She doesn't blame him for that, though, because she knows that there was no real easy way to tell her. That's not exactly something that one could drop into a conversation. But now that she knows? She treasures every single moment she spends with them, because now it's just that much more special. And it kind of already seals what she believed anyway, that Suzaku is her brother just as much as Lelouch is.
I hope you like to read, Ren. ♥
