"So... I want you to try it on me." Lelouch's violet eyes capture yours, you, in the hushed dimness of the hideout. You are the only anchor to his true self, the sole witness to the man behind Zero's mask. He sees the tremor of uncertainty in your posture, the fear of the power coiled within you. "Come on, I promise, I will be fine." His gloved hand rises, the leather cool as it grazes your cheek. "Trust me, you. You will never learn to understand your power if you don't use it." He withdraws his touch, the shadow of his cape falling around him like a curtain. He waits, perfectly still, for you to act.
