[Open in the infirmary] Suzaku's eyes flickered open and he frowned as he slowly made sense of the new surroundings. He knew where he was quickly as he had spent a lot of time in the infirmary when Nunnally had been unconscious. He sat up slightly feeling dizzy and letting what he remembered wash over him.

In the dungeon, with Zero. Yes... Lelouch was Zero... Suzaku stared at his memory charm bracelet. Lelouch was Zero but he was also the emperor Suzaku had promised to serve. To bring about Zero Requiem.

He remembered Lelouch shouting at him, shooting his Weapon. He hated him... because Suzaku and Lelouch had spoken about what Lelouch knew and Suzaku knew that he somehow came from a later point in time than Lelouch... Lelouch knew nothing about Suzaku being his knight.

His hands went to the necklace round his neck trying to pull it off. No matter how hard he pulled it was stuck fast. He couldn't take it off... Linked to Lelouch... to Zero. To Lelouch who still believed Zero's ways to be the way to change the world.

He clenched his fists, not knowing what to think or what to do. Angry and guilty, he thought he finally had it worked out but now he was confused again, not knowing what to do.

[Private PDA text to Dolorosa] Dolorosa, it is Suzaku Kururugi from Conquest. Can I talk to you please.

[Later at the lake side] When Suzaku was finally released from the infirmary after he had eaten and changed he went to the lake. The ship was gone now, the waters remarkably calm. He sat staring out at the water, trying to piece together his thoughts. To work out what to do.

"-- totally comatose," the voice - likely both recognisable and unwelcome - filtered in from the corridor. "Not much to record, but Suzaku's Suzaku, right?"

The footsteps halted, and there was the briefest of pauses as the arrivals apparently spent half a second contemplating knocking. And then discarded that idea completely. The door opened rather suddenly.

"Ta-da, one kni-- Oh, hey. He's awake."

Hello Suzaku, how may I help you?

Lelouch had earned himself some time to make some plans, run some interference, and finally sift through the memories he'd acted on so rashly. Finally, they made sense. He knew he'd been unreasonable. Nunnally had said that she hadn't been harmed in any way whatsoever by FLEIJA, and other things they'd discussed when they'd seen each other again matched up with what Suzaku claimed. And that's not even taking into account Gino's actions on the train. And it couldn't be a case of memory losses, because it would be far too much of a coincidence for everyone's memory to be modified in such specific ways.

So he checked a few likely places for Suzaku to be, and was not surprised to find him back here, as close to the scene of the crime as he could get.

"...And yet, I chose you as my knight, and I will always entrust Rolo and Nunnally's safety to you," he said, as though continuing their earlier conversation.

"Good morning." A familiar voice chimed in from behind Suzaku as a pair of arms wound their way around his shoulders and a chin came to a rest on his head. As she settled herself comfortably against the knight, a smile quirked Britannia's lips as green eyes glanced down at that mop of brown hair.

"Feeling better?"
