Considering that only her close siblings and Suzaku call her that, it would seem that Chuck does care about his daughter just a little bit, which is heartwarming given his usual attitude towards his children.

* When the Black Knights are discussing who Empress Tianzi should be married off to for political purposes, and right in the middle of the dispute, Tamaki shows up to interrupt the whole thing. [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope No, that's not the awesome part]]. It starts when Zero (after dodging the other Knights and going off with Tamaki) gets a phone call...from [[TheCutie Shirley]]. Zero (or rather, ''Lelouch'') then tells her about a situation wherein a family is suffering "family politics" regarding a marriage, to which Shirley suggests the girl in question should choose whatever her heart wants. After hanging up, Zero comes back and [[LargeHam in grand Zero fashion]] tells Tianzi that the decision of whom she marries is hers to make alone. At least for me, what made it awesome was that the whole thing was technically caused by [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Shirley]], who just unknowingly pulled a CMOH (and arguably a CMOA as well) for the ''Empress of China'' without even realizing it using ThePowerOfLove!

** Don't forget when [[spoiler:C.C. kisses Lelouch]] in the first season finale.
** A good ways into R2 Turn 7, Lelouch's musings on "glass". Epic fuzz.
** At the end of episode 8 of R2, when Lelouch takes off the Zero mask in front of Sayoko, and she just smiles.

** This troper can't decide whether [[spoiler: Rolo's final fight and death]] is the most [[CrowningMomentofAwesome badass]], [[TearJerker heartbreaking]], or utterly sweet thing she's seen in the entire series.
*** All three. '''All three'''.
****Unless you [[spoiler: still have qualms about his killing Shirley (although this troper liked Shirley, and was considerably angry at Rolo, EVERY character has done equal or worse. Absolutely forces you to see morality in less of a black and white ez-judgment sense)]]

**Episode 24 of R2, [[spoiler:Cornelia and Guilford finally reuniting. Who cares that the series will almost certainly never explain how Guilford survived a ''nuclear explosion'' of all things, it was nice to see something GOOD happen to the guy for once.]]

** The final episode where Nunnally [[spoiler:(along with many of his former allies who thought they were going to be executed) cries (more like utterly breaks down. Her tears brought this troper from just a few tears to uneven breathing and crying...) for Lelouch, realizing his sacrifice, and saying that he "was the only thing she needed in this world" to be happy...]] as the crowd around her goes wild cheering for [[spoiler:Zero(zaku), the man who had just assassinated Lelouch]]
*** It's also heartwarming because in cheering the man for [[spoiler: killing Lelouch, cheering for Zero, they are actually unwittingly cheering for Lelouch himself, giving him quite the touching send off instead of the intended malevolent one]].

Then the real moment: Jeremiah and Anya set off a bunch of fireworks, ''as per Lelouch's final request'', so that everyone can enjoy them together one last time. After some parting words from Suzaku and a mention by the council that Rolo and Shirley are watching this with them, the final chronological scene for the CodeGeass Anime canon is [[http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5632/sample612c9cc3de97e66b8.jpg this]]. In one last CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming it was shown, that in some way, even ''Lelouch'' [[EarnYourHappyEnding got his happy ending]]. ManlyTears were shed by [[LittleSerge This Troper]] when he got to see all the council members and their closest friends enjoy that one moment together. It's also a callback to the "musings on glass" mentioned above, as well as to several other recurring elements: Anya happy at finally having her memories "within her", Jeremiah's loyalty and [[spoiler: carrying out his master's last wish]], Villetta and Ohgi's wedding, as well as more info on [[spoiler: how they got engaged]], and even ''Nina'' is shown to still be doing a lot better.
* From R1, before the Battle of Naritao.
--> '''Lelouch''': C.C. I don't know why snow is white...but I do know that snow is beautiful.
