Speculation on Episode 19

[chinatsunekoi.livejournal.com]

starryburst pointed this out. Spoilers so don't read if you haven't seen ep 19

Like I said starryburst pointed out Rollo was never geassed by Lelouch. wanted to KILL him, we all knew he really wanted Rollo to die
And always did this plans to destroy him but he never geassed him to kill himself. I'm starting to think he never wanted Rollo Dead unconsiously. Anyone other speculations?

Even though you cut for spoilers, you have one right in your music line.

I think it's partly because even if he tried to Geass Rolo, Rolo would have the upper hand and Geass Lelouch first.

The other reason, I think, is because Lelouch tries not to use his Geass on people close to him unless he absolutely has to. After using it on Kallen and being unable to Geass her again, he realized he had to be more careful with how he used it. Case in point: Suzaku. He never wanted to Geass Suzaku but did so to save him. Lelouch might've been holding off unless it was absolutely necessary.

Lelouch doesn't Geass people if he doesn't have to. Also, he tries to use things to their full potential. I'm sure if he didn't have to go against VV, with Rolo a key part of it, he would've killed him right after he confessed about Shirley. He did try to kill him to stop VV after all, he just missed the chance. It worked for him in the end.
