Just here to point out that Suzaku did in fact smile after Euphie's death. He smiled around Shirley; he also smiled for Nunnally once if I recall correctly. And he smiled while joking around by Lelouch, this of course being the most natural and accidental of the examples. It was after Shirley died that Suzaku never smiled again. Though he almost might have in 17 if not for DIABLOS EX MACHINA aka Sunrise.

Impact of Euphie's death on Suzaku

Ah I totally forgot about those times... It might just be me (huuuuge SuzaEuphie fan here!), but I really see a striking difference between Suzaku's smiles in S1 and the ones in R2... Not just the amount/quantity of smiles, but that *quality* of them, if that makes sense... And it can't be denied that Suzaku's disposition in the second season is so drastically different from how he was in the first season... It can't be denied that Euphie's death had a huge, irreversible impact on him, he'd never be the same =(

Oh I believe it had a huge impact on him. And most of his smiles throughout R2 are forced and him playing a role. That's what got me about 13's smile. He's not playing a role there; he simply slipped for just one second and let himself go back to a simpler time. There will always be three very important people in Suzaku's life, and they alone are the ones capable of making him truly smile: Euphie, Nunnally and Lelouch. The smile in 13 is the same carefree quality as the ones of S1, and that is why Suzaku gets so upset in that scene; he realizes it. Suzaku doesn't want that happiness back, especially around Lelouch. That scene has always fascinated me because it reminded me that no matter what, those three special people for Suzaku will never change.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but Suzaku has a life to live, albeit a very unique one. He is only 18, and he cannot do his reckless life-risking stunts of usual. I think that, in time, Nunnally will make Suzaku smile again. Nunnally, after all, can help Suzaku realize Euphie's dream.

Don't forget that he smiled at Arthur after Arthur saved him from Tamaki, too!

Three whole times, by my count!
