How does spreading blood indicate that he had code? Re-watch again. Lelouch was showing Suzaku that his punishment involved killing his friend, live with the mask for all eternity (spreading blood on the mask to enhance the traumatic effect). The way I see it, nothing in the end suggests Lelouch is alive. He's died satisfied and his death is appreciated by the people who loved him. That's just epic. ...But like you, I'm Still PISSED. If you suggest that Lelouch and CC are living happily together ever after. I'll believe you. T_T
