That was my original plan, yes. [ No use in denying that. It's true. Lelouch had planned to use his power to make Euphemia open fire at him. ] A small, ceramic gun to be precise. You'd shoot me and a few days later I'd make a miraculous recovery.

[ Because, again, in the end he just couldn't bring himself to shoot her. He couldn't do it. It seemed like his plan was the best solution. ]

You changed my mind.
