[ YEAH SURE IS. PANIC TIME? Because immediately his heart seizes. Catches in his throat. She's calling... Why?
Now Lelouch DOES answer. But that doesn't mean he knows what to say. So if anything Euphy can probably hear his shaky breathing. Because he is shaking. Everything is shaking. His voice. Hands. ]

[ He answered. She ... doesn't expect that. Why would he answer? This was his opportunity to ignore and prove he didn't care at all. Yet this is happening. And her eyes widen when the other side is just ... silence. And breathing. Shaky. Uncertain.
She had something she wanted to say here, didn't she? What was it? It's not getting out. She ... can't speak... ]

[ Well it's not like he can speak either! And of course he cares. He's always cared.
His lips move, but no sound comes out. ]

[ Impulsive, sure. Not necessarily unwanted! ...Of course if she just wants to cause him pain that's difference. However Euphy isn't like that. ]
E-euphemia.
[ That doesn't come out as steady as he'd like. ]

[ Hearing her name spoken in that manner takes the confidence right out of whatever she intended to say. Wanted to say. Ask. It was a constant question that remained unexplained and kept her seeking her memories. But how can she ask now? She just wants to know why? Would it even be honest? Is any of this? ]

Lelouch, I think we need to adjust living arrangements. [ He sounds dead; toneless. ]

"Everything" isn't specific enough, Suzaku.
[ Might be a slight edge in his tone. WHAT DID YOU DO. ]

The Requiem. Kingsley and your father's geass. FLEIJA.

All at once!?
[ The "are you an idiot" should be implied here?

It seemed like the best course at the time.
How could that possibly be the best course of action at any time?
Everything is out in the open now. I'm keeping fewer secrets from her. [ And by extension, so are you. ]
It's not that which I consider questionable, Suzaku. I question the manner in which you spoke of it. The tone. Not to mention you likely didn't give her any time to process things before moving onto the next. That isn't the appropriate way to deal with it.
I apologize for my tone, then. [ In that same dead voice. ]
I'm going to the Center to find some other housing.

You know that isn't necessary.
[ Really. It's not. Don't be stupid. If Suzaku needs to get out then Lelouch has the room. Might mean they share though. ]
I just don't see why you had to go on and talk about these things to her without context. [ He knows you, Suzaku. You probably just made yourself out to be a villain without telling her anything about what was going on at the time. You can't fool him. ] It hurts her, and you, worse that way.

[ A moment's pause. Then, more quietly: ]
The context is just an excuse. She never really knew me, before. Now, she does. She can't just keep saying it doesn't matter.

Perhaps, to her, it doesn't. Haven't we both hit the point where intent is what ultimately matters?
She knows your heart and that's what mattered to her. It's what matters to Nunnally. In the end, you know that is what matters to you and I. How else could we have achieved what we have? You, like I, are robbing her. We're trying to force a choice that is out of our hands.
...Which I like less than you do. Believe me.

If intent was all that mattered, we wouldn't have needed the Requiem, Lelouch. We could have faked your death and you could have lived the rest of your life with C.C. [ And, maybe, him, if he didn't have to be Zero. ]
[ And his heart is rotten, deep down. ]
[ And his heart is rotten, deep down. ]
We didn't need it, Suzaku. They did. After all of this, do you really think we could have lived in peace? Can you honestly tell me that, after a year, something doesn't just itch under your skin?
