Oh, Rollo...

My thoughts on what Rollo is afraid of is below the cut...


I thought it weird that Rollo was acting so scared when Lelouch asked for his locket back. Later, he seemed set on killing Lelouch. wtf?

The only explanation I could think of was that Rollo didn't want to give away the only thing that made him human. I think he's a really confused kid who is just learning about love and families and all that. He probably doesn't even have his own birthday.

Now, I wonder what the hell is inside that locket of his. Photos of him and his brother? Or could it be some sort of activation device and totally throw off my synopsis.

Agreed. Rollo might be a heartless murderer, Geass user, l33t Knightmare pilot and whatnot, but deep inside, he's probably just a child looking for some love. I really can't wait to know his past.

My impression is, during the year that he was sent to observe Lelouch, he actually grew really fond of Lelouch and thought of him as an actual brother, a family, which he might never have gotten. And he does treasure that locket a lot. Also, he didn't want to believe that Lelouch was Zero until reality slammed it right into his face, that's probably when he has to decide - will he proceed with the mission faithfully and off Lelouch, or will he let his feelings get the better of him and spare what probably is the only family he's had?

But meh, we've only seen him for 3 episodes. Not a lot to be based off of, so something might totally happen in like the next 10 episodes and it turns out that Rollo really is heartless. Who knows?

I keep forgetting how long Rollo has been with Lelouch, a whole year?

But I'm thinking the Emperor or V.V. gave him the locket and messed with Lelouch's memories. I don't think the locket holds significant sentimental value to Rollo, but something like a secret to his powers or Nunnally's whereabouts or something.
