Turn 13: Rolo may be innocent. (With proof!)

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

When I first watched the episode, I thought something was fishy about Shirley's death scene.

At first, I thought they cut it off for the shock, but there was something else fishy about it. Wouldn't it have been MORE shocking if we actually saw Rolo knife her? We saw Euphie getting shot, after all.

And then, while watching, something hit me.

Rolo carries a knife. He uses his knife to usually kill people when he geasses them.

BUT:



That looks like a bullet hole to me.


Well, she did have a gun on her, so it IS possible Rolo used that, but also--




The gun was found IN HER HAND.



And WE SAW NOTHING. We didn't even see Rolo cast his Geass, but here are some interesting facts we DO know:

It appears Shirley was killed by a gun, not a knife.
Her gun was found in her hand.
We did not see what happened to Suzaku after he 'went in'. (Suspicious... >.>)


Now, I suppose it is possible that Rolo did have a gun on him and shot her. I actually don't care either way, I love Rolo and always will. BUT--after years of watching murder mysteries on TV, these little facts seem all too suspicious to me. And I kinda hope this is geass pulling another twist on us, because it would be awesome.

...Thoughts on my theory?



EDIT: Just to clarify:

I DON'T THINK IT WAS SUICIDE. I think that, if it wasn't Rolo, her death was an accident. An accident by the name of--

SUZAKU! *accusing finger here*

Well, we didn't see what happened after he went in, after all. He could have seen Rolo about to knife Shirley up, shot, and accidentally hit Shirley or something.

Meh--I just want it to be that way because it would be twisty and awesome and it would be like twisted revenge for Euphie--which is also awesome.

(Yeah, really, if Rolo did actually kill her, fine, but these little things make it fun to speculate >.>).



EDIT 2: Okay, I know highly unlikely that Suzaku did it. I just thought it was a fun crack theory. >.>

But I still think it's pretty possible Rolo didn't kill her.

If they show in the flashback that Rolo did it then I have nothing to argue against anymore. The Geass incriminates him but that does not 100% guarantee us viewers that he was the one who killed/shot her.

YAY SPECULATIONS

I think it's possible Rolo didn't do it, too.
I mean, we didn't saw the moment of her getting murdered.

It could've been Suzaku, because at the scene it was kind blurry/smokey there so he could've thought it was a terrorist and shot her on his way.
Or Jeremiah did it, because he thought of her as an obstacle (I mean, it was a bit hard to see who it was with all the smoke stuff maybe?)

I hope they make the murderer someone unexpected!
I hope they twist it a lot, do something no one expects~! *pleasee~*

I'll still love Rolo, whatever he does, I love him.
*yay for loyal Rolo fangirls!*

XD; Yea... I don't think it could be Suzu.

If Rolo -did- do it, he might've taken Shirley's gun and shot her with it, no? ^^;

Hey, maybe Rolo was all, "I'ma knife you betch D<" And then Suzaku comes in and is all "OH NO YOU DON'T! I'ma firin' mah gun!" And Rolo is all, "GEASS'D!" And then he moves Shirely over there and then runs away! And then Suzaku's all like "Oh...fail." And then runs away too. And...SOMEONE MOVES THE GUN into Shirely's hand. Maybe she grabbed it. Or something.
