code_geass ◾ ◾ Symbolism of wings in ED2

I'll bet my ass this has been posted about before (and if somebody points the post out to me I'll delete this one), but there's an interesting kind of symbolic motif going on in this most recent ending. LJ cut because, duh, it's spoilery.

Everyone who has died so far in this season has wings in the ending. Nunnally (Let's face it guys, that was a NUKE), Shirley (;_;), and.... granted, that's it. It's still interesting to note, though. I guess we'll see how it pans out in the end, right?

Other wings of note:
-Ougi, for instance, is holding feathers falling from the air. I take this to mean that either someone close to him will die or has already died, and it'll impact him later/or is impacting him currently. (Kallen's brother? HEY, WHATEVER HAPPENED WITH THAT GUY!?) Or he could die, but we'll see.
-Lelouche is either holding a wing or grasping his own, I can't tell. Either way, there are feathers.
-There's a feather in Ninja!Maid's shadow.
-Schniezel holds a feather with stone wings in the background. Are these his wings, or are they the wings of crumbled statues? Iiiinteresting.
-Le-douche and Suzaku share a wing at the end. Could by symbolic of Nunnally (Or even Shirley or Euphie, way back when) or a mutual death, but we'll see how that ends up.

It's interesting to note that not everyone has a feather. If they did, I wouldn't bother making this post. =P
