[ So soon after Lelouch's own dream, he feels again the sensation of coming apart, splitting at the seams, something lurking beneath the surface of his skin.

N. A. T.

Fragments of a name this young man - more a boy, really - is terrified to reveal. The sort of fear that goes along with the fear of death. If his name is revealed, it means death.

Lelouch Lamperouge - that is to say, Lelouch vi Britannia - that is to say, Zero - understands this emotion very well. ]

Regrettably, it's difficult to keep secrets here.

[Not a voice that he knows. Near pauses before replying, and when he does answer, his voice is at its usual quiet and steady pitch. He's had time to slow his breathing. There is no fear in him.]

Yes. That is what I have been told. Perhaps some will be able to be kept, for a time.

Though if it is difficult for everyone, perhaps it does not matter.

[ Lelouch notes the shift to audio, and replies in kind. ]

I wish you luck with yours. It seems like you have something worth hiding from.

Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Lelouch. If you don't wish to reveal your name, is there anything else I can call you by?

Everyone has some desire to hide from something. Things are not so different.

[A pause, and then, a little tentative:] N.

Why are we speaking?

[ Well, that was rather abrupt. Perhaps understandably so. ]

For no reason, I suppose. I just like to get to know the people around me.

[ Lelouch knows when a conversation is unwanted, so he'll let this one go. ]

Well, it's been a pleasure, N.

Oh.

[A pause.]

People commonly watch each other's dreams? Even when they are--unconnected.

[ Lelouch almost quips, "Well, there's nothing on TV," but refrains. N doesn't seem like the joking type. ]

It's hard to avoid it sometimes. We're all equally exposed here. And, if you don't mind me saying so, it's the quickest way to get to know someone new, to see if they're a dangerous person or not. We've had our share of insane mass murderers here. [ Joker, specifically.]
