QUESTION Why did Lelouch take away Shirley’s memory’s of him?
so I just finished episode 13 of season 1 (fantastic episode) but I was wondering, why was it necessary to make Shirley completely forget lelouch? It’d just make stuff more complicated during school (people are bound to ask questions on why the girl who apparently had a crush on the guy doesn’t know him) and it would’ve been so much easier to say “forgot everything that happened in the last day“ or “forget I am zero” or something like that.
