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.

hmm as much as i would like to agree, I think rollos did it 100%. When Shirley and Him was in the room talking, after she said, "I want to protect Lulu, and Join you." His expression changed, thus after that, that expression looked like he was saying. "No, That is My Job, you are trying to take my place?" ( almost confused ) then after that, Shirley added the icing to the cake by saying, " I want to bring back his happiness...and his little sister Nunnas too." Ok, From previous episodes, we know that Rollo can be a bit...physco; at that moment, something from his mind turned off or on, and on impulse, and rage, knowing that Lulu is HIS brother and no one elses. This self absorbed, feeling, this overwhelming emotion over-took Rollo. Almost as if he would say, "Who the Hell is Nunnally? I AM Lulus ONLY BROTHER. he is mine and no one else's." blah blah blah (lol) But yea, that preety much did it in for him.

Which would symbolize the mask falling and his true identity being revealed(?) Notice the change in his eyes,(he is pissed) and the mask fell, thus him killing Shirley. By taking her gun, shooting her, and putting it right back in her hand. Notice when she was talking to Rollo she let go of the trigger as well. Dont think its really anything more, but if it was well that would be a complete shock.

I love Rolo, but he definitely was the killer. So, yeah, amen to this.
