The first time I heard this song is when Lelouch and Shirley go shopping together to buy a gift for their friend. Actually, the dating is arranged by their friends to trigger the relationship between Lelouch and Shirley. But actually, Lelouch is just too focused on his obsession of being a Hero for the world that he never realized Shirley's pure love until Shirley passed away.

IMO, Shirley's love is similar to a mother's love for her son. Shirley accepts Lelouch however he is, both the good side and the bad side of Lelouch. Only if she's not dead, she can be the only truthful one whom Lulu can go back to every time he feels not okay. It's so frustrating to know that Shirley must die. Especially when she said, "Is it okay, Lulu, isn't it? No matter how many times when I'll be reborn, I will fall in love with you again and again..."

Masquerade
Vocals: Hitomi
Lyrics: Kuroishi Hitomi
Composition: Kuroishi Hitomi

While my heart is still locked
With a cold attitude, I don a mask on my body
Who knows
My true face? Besides you

Without ever giving a thought about exposing
My own weaknesses and strengths
I hid my tears
From people who can show their true faces

I can’t lose you, who I kept searching for

You’re My Destiny
I want to try and believe
I still don’t understand the meaning of eternity
But You’re My Destiny
If I compose tomorrow’s dream
Then it’ll become my destiny
Say you’ll share with me one love

In order to seize it in my hands
I calmly hurt others and lived to this point
But loneliness
Was the only thing left in the hands of who I am

I won’t desire anything if you’re by my side

You’re My Destiny
Open your heart
I want to confess my unyielding thoughts
You’re My Destiny
The bond that I feel
Is the destiny of our meeting
Say you’ll share with me one love

You’re My Destiny
I want to try and believe…
You’re My Destiny
In tomorrow’s dream…

You’re My Destiny
Open your heart
I want to confess my unyielding thoughts
You’re My Destiny
The bond that I feel
Is the destiny of our meeting
Say you’ll share with me one love
