There was only one thing that question could mean: whether or not she knew about Zero. The answer was complicated. "I first met Zero at Lake Kawaguchi, during that hotel-jacking. I honestly didn't know who he was, but...he knew me. I suppose I should have realized, but there was really no way to know," she began, in a small, quiet voice. She hadn't really wanted to know, not then - she was more concerned with getting everyone out safely without more people being killed.
"The next time we met was on Kaminejima," she said. "But then...honestly, Suzaku, I can't think Lelouch is truly a bad person. He was more worried about everyone else. You, your friend Kallen, Nunnally. All of you. And even later, when we met that day...the day the SAZ was opened. He said he was doing everything for her sake, for Nunnally. I can't think anyone that would do so much to protect someone is truly bad inside. I'm sorry, I just..." She trailed off, silent for just a moment. Euphemia didn't understand why Suzaku was being so...so suspicious. Hadn't they been friends? What could have happened to drive them apart?
That next statement made her gasp, and she quickly clapped a hand over her mouth. "You don't mean it...then. I'm sorry, Suzaku. I can't not talk to him, or check in on him. Maybe I can get him to see reason, and even if I can't, I have to try. Don't worry. It'll be all right."
Euphemia frowned at that last statement. She didn't like the idea of some faceless person kidnapping everyone and not even giving them a chance to speak up for themselves. All this talk of having to face a trial, only to be met with stony silence - she didn't like it, not one bit. "I see," she finally said, lips drawn into a thin line. "I suppose talking to the nurses does no good?"
