[When Nunnally wakes up, it will likely be hard not to notice the yellow creature sleeping next to her. How Shirley managed to sneak it in without her noticing -- well, perhaps she just got lucky.
But there is a note attached, and by now, she'll probably recognize the handwriting.]
To: Nunnally
I've held onto this plushie for a while now, and for a long time, I've thought about giving it to Miss C.C., if she ever returns... but I think you should have it instead.
Thank you so much for staying with me, and treating me like family even in the absence of your own. We've been through a lot together, and I'm so glad I'll be able to celebrate the New Year with you.
[another person who makes him nervous. she moreso than shirley or mami, and he really doesn't have to be nervous, does he? this is just audio, she can't see the frown he wears as he thinks about what to say to her, what to do, is his empress okay?
there's silence for a while, but eventually:] Hey, Nunnally...
[it's weird.
he's come back from 'your majesty' and 'empress', so calling her by her first name again— it's weird. he doesn't think he'll get used to it right away, but he's always been good at adapting to changes. probably. he hopes.]
I'm sorry for disappearing again, but I'm back now. [apologetic, always.] Just today, actually, a couple of hours ago— [and he saw that lelouch was back, and so was c.c., they're back and doesn't that just make him the happiest person in the world (not)?] I just wanted to call you and let you know.
[When she had checked her voicemails, she hadn't expected to hear Suzaku's voice. Her reaction is immediate; she's happier already -- so that meant that Lelouch, C.C., and Suzaku were all back here again. It was a good thing in her eyes! But then again, she is constantly oblivious at just how awkward things were between everyone.
She listens to the message, and doesn't take much longer after that to call him back.]
Suzaku! I'm so glad to hear that you're back! [Get blown away from the happiness, Suzaku.] You don't need to apologize...it's not always someone's fault that they leave. But I really missed you!
[good, good, he's positively blown away! and... glad she's happy - sounds so, at least - taking this as a well-deserved win after that disappearance.] I missed you too, Nunnally.
[and he found that he did even though he just saw her not even five minutes before he'd arrived. this has definitely been a Day, shifting through the numbers on his phone like clockwork to see if anyone he knew was still here - people he knew, not the other way around (because no one knows zero).
[It was nice, having Shirley -- but when there weren't nearly as many people from home, it was a little lonely. Just a little bit! She had friends here as well, that she'd made here.]
It would be nice to see them again. Maybe even Clovis?
[Even though she might be the Only One to be happy to see him again...] But I'll cherish the time I have with the people here, anyway.
nunnally, you're too good for this world. that's suzaku's very firm opinion.] Clovis, too. Maybe the guy he made his knight would follow.
[again, he thinks, but maybe that's just him. he didn't dislike jin, not really, he just... avoiding everything that had to do with jin and clovis. it was too awkward for him.]
—that'd be good too, though... cherishing the time you have here. [he just hopes that, when the time comes, she'll go back to her duties. honestly, he has a really, really weird feeling that it doesn't matter either way, and that makes him really... wary.]
[She loves Clovis, okay. Even if she might be the Only One to love him.]
Maybe! It would be nice to all get together.
[Stop. Stop stop stop. Nobody wants to get together, Nunnally. But she can try to be optimistic.]
Mhm. Even with who we do have, we should all get together regardless.
[When she disappears from this world she will pick up her duties, but for now...hanging out with people she thought were dead was good for her. It'd been a long couple of years here, but at least there was that.]

I can't think of any reason why anyone would dislike you, after all.

still,] How are you holding up?
[voice]
Holding up? Hm. Well.] Lelouch is back, as well as C.C. So I guess I've been doing a lot better recently, especially now that you're here again too!
[voice]
[and then, without missing a beat (without asking about lelouch, or c.c.):] I guess we're just waiting on Schneizel and the rest, huh?
[voice]
It would be nice to see them again. Maybe even Clovis?

[voice]
...but, if that's what nunnally wants— 'suzaku' can't say no.]
I don't think I'd mind that. Have you talked to the others about it yet?
[he's checking, really - he might as well all things considered.]
[voice]
[Why would her brother object to it? She doesn't see why.
All she'd have to do is puppy eyes, theoretically--][voice]
[he'll run right on over.

[GOOD. No one can resist!!]
