[ It is Lelouch's final night in prison.
He does not sleep.
Lelouch isn't afraid - no, that's not quite it. He is afraid, but not in the right ways. He can feel the fear of death seething in his stomach - a natural thing, a normal reaction, the reaction of a living being when confronted with the cessation of existence. But more than afraid of death, Lelouch is afraid of the consequences of not dying - of being rescued, of losing friends (yes, here in this lonely cell, here on the edge of a knife, Lelouch can finally allow himself to call them friends) to a conflict he might have caused.
Again.
Lelouch has brought war to his home's doorstep again.
So he does not sleep; there is nothing inside him that will allow him to. Lelouch watches others' dreams instead, goes out of his own head for a night, lets himself be anywhere but here, here in the dark.

[So what she comes back to, later, is possibly the most heartbreaking message she has ever received on her Hitomi. It's so wrenching, this hopelessness, this utter certainty of death and the despair of life, if it should continue.
She wants to make it better, she definitely wants it.]
Don't give up, Lelouch.
We're coming for you. We're getting you out.
[They have to.]
And this dream, it's not your fault. It's the fault of everything that is happening in this world right now, and my own demons which are my own business and no one else's.
But we're coming for you. So don't give everything up yet.
[And she knows, in her heart of hearts, that she's setting him up for even more pain in telling him this, in giving him a spark of hope, but she decides that they'll just have to succeed.]

And he learns. ]
