like a wish

i didn’t like akito the exiled overall and just couldnt get into it but man i am all about suzaku and lelouchs scenes in akito. the whole julius kingsley thing is fucked and i am all in for it. suzaku being complicit in his childhood best friends brainwashing and having his personality rewritten and having a whole nother persona forced into his head — and this is lelouch, whose intellect and identity are extremely important to him and are also his greatest weapons and to have lost control of those things is devastating enough to cause a near total mental break when he finally breaks through his father’s geass— doing something like that, allowing something that’s so clearly against his values and the suzaku of only a short time before would be horrified by what he’s doing here.
