It's reasonable to assume (especially since Suzaku is in his pink fluffy kid clothes) that the first scene takes place before his father's death
My thoughts exactly. But I remember coming across an old post on AS back when someone supposedly from the show was answering questions from viewers, and they said this scene actually took place after Suzaku's patricide (not that it must be true, but it was that one person who spoiled stuff days in advance and always got it right). Hence puzzlement. Buuuuuuuuuuut I can't find it again so idk, maybe I made that up or can't remember it properly. xD; Let's pretend it never happened or said person was wrong, because this ^ works perfectly, and I find the thought of Suzaku putting the pink clothes on again after he killed his father in them slightly disturbing anyway. :')
