Matrix Troopers were guarding a building which Suzaku himself is being interrogated

Suzaku Kururugi was bound in a straightjacket as Jeremiah and some Pureblood troopers were interrogating him.

"Suzaku Kururugi," With complete disgust in his voice the margrave then pulled a duffle bag on the desk before he unzipped it. "Tell us this is yours isn't it." He pulled out what looked to be a sharp metal pole, and a miniature lighter. "Even as an Honorary Britannian soldier, you aren't granted access to firearms. No doubt you improvised with whatever scraps you had to rob His Highness's life like the barbaric your people are!"

Suzaku's eyes widened at that. "And we've done our homework on you. You're the eldest child of Japan's last acting prime minister, are you not? Your motive here is clear."

"You're making a mistake!" Suzaku protested. "I have never seen that bag before! Nor any of the contents inside!"

In response, a pureblood kicked the youth's chair, sending him to the floor.

"Don't lie! Your fingerprints are all over this bag. Furthermore, you are suspected of murdering members of the Royal Guard!" Jeremiah looked down at the youth. "Come clean now, and you'll be judged as though you were born a Britannian, and not some worthless Eleven."

"You're wrong! I've done nothing! I swear I'm innocent!" Suzaku denied again, only to earn a kick to the face.

"That was Suzaku they mentioned on the news, wasn't it?" Nunnally asked as Lelouch lifted her from her wheelchair and into her bed.

"Yeah... it looks like he's still alive," Lelouch said, though proud his long-lost friend had survived, his current situation did little to ease his mind a bit.

Yeah, it must be..." Nunnally starts to look saddened 

"Nunnally?"

"I'm sorry, Lelouch, it's just... I can stop feeling...Sad...About Clovis." That caused Lelouch to look a bit ashamed. "We haven't seen him since... We left home. And now..."

"I know Nunnally," Lelouch said. "It sounds... very sad." He was glad she couldn't see the look of shame on his face.

After closing the door to Nunnally's room, Lelouch felt the commlink beep and he opened it.

"Let me guess," Lelouch said. "You saw the news?"

"Yeah, and I think you should get over here right now." Luke answered. "Han here... is being Han as usual."

"I'm on my way." Lelouch said as he was ready head out of the house

That's why we should have issued a freaking statement sooner!" Tamaki exclaimed to Ohgi. "We could have taken credit for it!" He stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind them.

Ohgi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at a framed picture of himself, Kallen, and her late brother. "Naoto, I'm not cut out for this. I'm no leader."

F looked at Oghi who was still not over Naoto's death at the hands of Karre she then sighed and hoped for something to change the predicament she and her allies were in knowing Naoto was with Karre back then and had no idea to do

Back in the Falcon Artoo paused the image of Suzaku as Han said "So that's Suzaku huh?" Luke nodded and said "That's right Han! He was the one who disobeyed his superior rather than execute us."

"And from what the news said...He is the son of the last prime minister of Japan." Leia turned to Lelouch. "And he is your friend?" Lelouch nodded and said
