What do you mean "friendship sucks"? How? What does that even mean?

Aside from actual stories of them remembering Lelouch fondly, where the Ashford Student Council differs from the rest of the world is the world never knew him. Milly knew Lelouch for about 7 years, and Rivalz and Shirley knew himfor a few years. They've seen him be a dork, seen him be kind, seen him be snarky, seen him be indignant, seen him being a doting and loving older brother. The rest of the world never saw any of that, they just saw the evil he wanted them to see. But the Student Council would have been conflicted rather than outright hating him. You can see when Suzaku stabs him that Milly and Rivalz look panicked. They obviously didn't like what he was doing, might have been scared of him, but they cared.

Plus there's the Miraculous Birthday OVA as well as an OVA that takes place a year after the Requiem where they speak fondly of Lelouch, and there's a story of Kallen, Rivalz, and Gino go through that scrapbook and look at pictures of Lelouch with the Student Council and recalling him fondly.
