[There isn't much information here for her to unpack, but she takes her time with it anyway. Over the past year, she has tormented herself with so many what ifs surrounding Euphy's death that she doesn't want to add this new one to the pile, doesn't want to wonder, what if Kururugi had said something. What happened to Euphy is senseless enough without foucsing on the hundreds of things that could have gone better, that could have saved her.
It does somewhat surprise her to hear him confess to wanting to kill her father for Lelouch's sake. That isn't what he had told Schneizel--then, he seemed to care only about being named the Knight of One. This is largely irrelevant as well; what does it matter whether his allegiance had been to the Emperor, or to Schneizel, or to his own damned ambition? It wasn't long afterwards when he became the Knight of Zero instead.
The fact that they were childhood friends, however, is a point of genuine interest. He expands upon it in a manner that's more honest than she'd expected, and that causes a slight shift in her demeanour towards something more understanding, though she won't address that directly. At least not now.]

Why did you choose to become Zero?
[A bit of a leading question. A bit of a test.]
