So yeah, she's the girl that got the most 'simple' relationship with him.

Well, when you put it that way, yes. I do agree that Shirley and Lelouch's was pretty much strictly romantic (at least from her end) and there weren't these other circumstances or expectations from her surrounding Lelouch, as there were with Kallen and C.C. There was the fiasco with her father, but that's different.

Something tells me that Shirley was destined to be a tragic character in the same fashion as Euphemia. Although not as a massacre princess.

I, and everyone else, can only imagine what would've happened if that stupid time slot change hadn't occurred. Well, for one thing, it could very well be possible that Charles wouldn't have altered the SC's memories and therefore Shirley would be more inclined to confront Lelouch about his identity sooner. Who knows what would've happened from there.

Thanks. This is a good week for Shirley fans

I would say that Euphy's death did that quite well.

Well, Lelouch has more or less been on the "demon path" since he started this whole escapade. He did sort drift in out of the extremeties to how "demonic" he was, but I think he's always been committed to the idea that he must become evil to defeat the greater evil.
