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.

She had the gun in her hand from the beginning.

And I think if she'd wanted to kill herself she'd have at least aimed for the head.
At that point nothing indicated she was suicidal. Why would she have done so? To punish/hurt Lelouch? Then I'd have done it in front of his eyes "Look at me, I'm dying because of you and you couldn't prevent it; I'll watch you from hell while you go crazy on remorse" instead of that remote place where Lelouch could have easily overseen her.

Point: Rolo had the better motives.

I don't think it was suicide. I actually think it was an accident. The point about the gun is; I think if Rolo killed her he would have at least finished her off or taken the gun.

Lelouch didn't know she had a gun, after all. What was the point of leaving it in her hand?

And part of me wants Suzaku to have accidentally killed her...

I personally think he panicked and killed her.

another supporting statement is that she actually wanted to join lulu. she couldn't very well do that if she was dead.
