People are still comparing him to Light? While that couldn't be helped early on, I think it's obvious by now that Lelouch is quite different from Light. Lelouch's problem is in perception, he's partly Suzumiya Haruhi in that he views people he doesn't know personally as potatoes/chess pieces. It's the way he's raised and the way he's survived his 'dead years', I suppose, which was why CC needed to reality check'd him that they are people. Even then, he avoids 'tactically unnecessary casualties'. He simply has something he has to do that justifies everything. ('They killed Mother/Japan/destroyed our lives, it doesn't matter' which is quite human really)

I know. ;_; Plus, it's how LL thinks Suzaku wants to die, too, so that could be just "Stop hurting yourself so much, you idiot" in less verbose terms. Most moving use of Geass ever.

Something drastic would probably happen to him later. Not sure when, though.
