A question for the experts

[cal-reflector.livejournal.com]

In one picture drama, Suzaku is besides Rivalz who is fixing his bike. Suzaku talks about an older Britannian woman he knew who was also good with bikes, who took care of him after his home was destroyed the war. I think he even mentions that this woman worked for the military, and this was a big influence on why he decided to join.

In an episode of the anime, if I recall correctly, Cecile mentions how Suzaku reminded her of someone, which is why she likes to look after him.

Question: Is it confirmed by canon that Cecile was the older woman who took in Suzaku after the invasion for a time?

If so, I would not be surprised that Sunrise forgot they planted this chekov's gun.

Btw, wasn't there mentioned, that Suzaku had sexual experience? Because of that woman i mean.
Or was it from a radio interview? It was tied to that event though.

I would like someone to confirm that as well. I remember it raised quite an uproar on the boards at the time.

It was from some director interview that is now part of Code Geass mythos. I say mythos because no one now can find a translation or a source for that interview--no scans, no audio, no transcript, no solid proof of it ever having existed. Instead, it is hearsay upon hearsay passed from one newbie fan to another and simply accepted as truth in all corners of this fandom. But we don't mind because it makes sense and fits with the rest of his backstory and characterization.

Basically, is this factoid canon or fanon? No one really knows anymore, but it's pretty much assumed by everyone, so for all things fannish, there really is no distinction at all.

Heeeey I was around at the time. It did exist. :(

I actually don't doubt that. It's just frustrating being told from all sides about about this bit of canon and not being able to find anything substantive on it. I need my paper trails. :(
