Charles: How ironic. You desire the truth from others? You, who lied the entire way to this point?

Lelouch: You’re right. I have always been creating lies. Not just my name and past, but hiding my true intentions in their entirety. But, is it not a given? One tries to fit in with the dialogue of others, trying to mesh with the situation. Without that, countries, races, bodies known as communities wouldn’t exist. Everyone knows how to use lies. In front of family, in front of friends, in the presence of society, everyone puts on a different mask. Yet, is that a sin? What is one’s true face? Even you are wearing the mask known as the emperor. At this point, we cannot walk around without personae.
