Preface: please don't take this as defence or like for Rolo - I did not like him.

Shirley was a side character, her death was sadly inevitable and her primary purpose was as an excuse to change the logical behaviour and process of Lelouch.

I definitely considered Rolo's death sadder - Rolo had never known love or affection other than that which was from Lelouch, the majority of which was deception (by Charles or Lelouch). Despite this and despite Lelouch telling him his true feelings, Rolo chose to save Lelouch at the cost of his own life, while being in awe of Lelouch' mind.

I don't count the Lelouch death - I don't agree that he's dead. Denial, wishful thinking, whatever.

Euphy's death was weird. Sad, yes, but the whole plotlines involving her seemed somewhat out of place to me. I understand the purpose, still considered it out of place.
