[ Lelouch is not fooled - Kakashi sounds too intentionally casual, too normal. He's a man who understands masks, all right, understands keeping your face hidden under layers of smiles and superficiality. And, of course, there was the actual fact that he hasn't, to Lelouch's knowledge, yet shown his face over the network at all. Not even in his own dreams.
(A hero in a mask is different - he can be anyone, and anything, and anywhere. This is Zero's essence; he is every shadow in every alley and under every bed.)
Lelouch makes it a point to watch as many dreams as he can catch because this is his job: to know, to understand, to gather information, to interpret it, to line the pieces up and and connect them so he can see the board - and in another way, it is his job to experience as much as he can. These dreams are another set of masks, personas, and Lelouch cannot refuse another identity. If anything, it's something like practice.
Or maybe he just doesn't want to admit that the thought of being, for a short time, someone-not-himself is entirely too appealing.
And - in any case - it's not like he's not the victim of this same process, as much as everyone else here. ]
No, I suppose not.
[ He shouldn't have said anything in the first place. He should have kept his mouth shut. He should have put the Hitomi down. He should never have been here in the first place.

Lelouch is just tired of this. ]
I apologize. It wasn't my place.
