Geass - Hangyaku No Lelouch - Lost Colors ... - Code

“You gave me ten seconds of peace,” Lelouch said. “That’s more than anyone else has. Stay. Be my ‘zero.’”

Rai’s Geass was different from Lelouch’s. It wasn’t absolute command. It was resonance . He could “link” with a person’s deepest wish, amplifying their loyalty, love, or hatred. And with every use, his memory crumbled further.

When the Black Rebellion erupted, Ashford Academy became a war zone. Rai used his resonance Geass not to control, but to connect . He linked the minds of Lelouch, Suzaku, Kallen, and Euphemia in a single, fleeting moment of shared truth. For ten seconds, they saw the war from every angle. Lelouch saw Suzaku’s death wish. Suzaku saw Lelouch’s love for Nunnally. Euphemia saw the blood on her own hands.

And just like that, he was given a name from a hat: Rai . A dorm room. A uniform. Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch - Lost Colors ...

When the light faded, he ran. He ran until he collapsed at the gates of the private Ashford Academy.

When the timeline reset, the transfer student from Ashford Academy was just a rumor. A ghost in the club room. A half-finished painting in the art shed.

But Lelouch approached him, holding out a hand. “You gave me ten seconds of peace,” Lelouch said

He had no name. No memory. No past.

V.V. found him first. The eerie, ageless boy took Rai to a cathedral of shadows where he was not a student, but a weapon . Here, Rai learned to overwrite minds completely. He became a ghost for the Geass Order, erasing key Britannian generals. But when he looked in a mirror, he saw only static. When Lelouch finally cornered him, Zero whispered, “You are not a person. You are a loaded gun. Is that how you want to die?” Rai pulled the trigger on himself—but the Geass rewound time, trapping him in a loop of his own erasure.

He was recruited by the Viceroy’s elite, the Glinda Knights. Under the stern but honorable Lady Nonette Enneagram, Rai learned to fight. He used his Geass to interrogate terrorists, extracting the location of the Black Knights’ HQ. He stood opposite Kallen Stadtfeld in a burning ghetto. She screamed, “You have their faces! Japanese faces! How can you serve them?!” Rai didn’t answer. He couldn’t. He couldn’t remember if he was Japanese. He won the battle but lost his soul, becoming a silent, loyal puppet of Britannia. Be my ‘zero

The battle stopped. Just for a moment.

“See you in the next cycle, Rai.”
