The screen goes black for a moment until finally, as if an eye opens, what appears to be the sky appears, to quickly change to a golden colored eye that seems to belong to a woman, followed by sunflowers, Mount Fuji, an insect, and finally a small hill where two children begin to climb it, all while the sound of cicadas screeching.

"What the hell?" commented Chiba, not understanding what she had just seen.

"Wait was that C.C.'s eye?" asks Kallen to herself as she remembers how C.C. had the same eye color as the one that appeared on the screen.

"I think so." Ohgi replied as he listened to her. He also remembers the woman who everyone know is Zero's lover.

"Who are those children?" asks Gino. "I thought these videos should show us what happened with Lelouch."

Tohdoh quickly recognized the two boys who appeared in the video and answered Gino. "Those are Lelouch and Suzaku when they were children, during their childhood they had been best friends."

The audience upon hearing this, with a few exceptions, were surprised, most of them had no idea that the Demon Emperor had been friends with Suzaku Kururugi, or that he even knew him personally before appointing him as his knight. Most simply believed that Suzaku had joined Lelouch to gain more power.

"How did they become friends?" asks Ohgi. "Lelouch was a prince of Britannia and Suzaku was the son of the former prime minister, I don't see how they became friends."

"I'm sure the answer will be shown to us at some point." Tohdoh replied.

Suzaku climbs quickly, while Lelouch seems to have difficulties to do it, the camera approaches Suzaku, who turns to help his friend to climb, then the same golden eye is shown again, when finally, Lelouch manages to climb, it is seen that a figure is watching them.

Kallen, recognizing the woman, can't help but frown.

"C.C.! What is she doing there?"

"Who?" ask Milly and Rivalz when they don't recognize the green-haired girl. Sadly, they are ignored by the other spectators, who are too confused to pay attention to them.

"I'm more curious about her appearance." Rakshata says as she also recognizes C.C. quickly. "I know we can't see her completely, but I always thought she should be the same age as Lelouch, apparently she's quite a bit older than him, even though she didn't look like she'd aged a day. What's her real age?"

Nunnally seeing for the first time the one who in the past she thought had been his big brother's possible girlfriend or fiancée, and who had accompanied him to the end did not know how to feel, because thanks to Lelouch's memories she recognized at least that she was the one who had given the Geass to her big brother, but above all she could not stop thinking about how right it was that the video started with her big brother and the two people with whom he managed to change the world.

Milly along with Rivalz were confused, neither of them knew who this C.C. was, and how she was connected to Lelouch.

The camera begins to switch to several different scenes as C.C.'s voice is heard explaining how Britannia declared war on Japan, explaining the disputes over Japan's resources and strained diplomatic relations, how the decisive battles introduced mechanical knights called knightmares, whose power surpassed any of the Japanese forces, and finally narrating that Japan ended up being conquered by Britannia, how its citizens lost all rights, and finally how Japan was renamed Area 11.

The Japanese having to listen to what had happened to their Nation in the past could not help but gnash their teeth at the horrible memory, Chiba would have even shouted insults at the Britannian military present in the room, were it not for Tohdoh to calm her down by reminding her that it was all in the past and that Japan was now a free Nation again.
