Do you think that Lelouch loved someone romantically in the end?There have been hints with C.C., Shirley and Kallen.Personally i think that the staff was going with C.C. and Lelouch in the first season and in the second they took the route for Lelouch and Kallen.Shirley was in school and it was hard in the first place.
What is your opinion?

Lelouch is physically incapable of digging a grave for Rolo. Full stop. If his hands are dirty and muddy, it's because he probably pushed some of the soil into the hole himself, and also when he set the marker. But Lelouch canonically cannot dig a hole with a stick to set a lure for an animal, much less dig a grave. He would have had to use the knightmare for it.

After this, Lelouch goes on his biggest Roaring Rampage of Revenge, all directed at his father.

Yes, but he's not avenging Rolo. His separation from the Black Knights is the catalyst for his final show-down with Charles. His initial plan, back when he was ten was to destroy Britannia. The Black Knights were part of that, but to an extent, Lelouch got bogged down with liberating Japan. It was a tactic he thought would lead him to taking down Charles, but when he loses them, he finds a more direct approach. Rolo reminds him that he is doing more than just fighting for Nunnally. This is something he consistently needs reminding of; Kallen reminds him during R2 06, Suzaku reminds him of it in the World of C and then after they find out Nunnally's alive. Rolo is a piece of the puzzle, and an important one, but not nearly as strong of a motivation as you're trying to claim.

Lelouch was free with his emotions regarding Euphy only after it was all over, when he was alone with C.C. and no one else could see. He had to cut his grieving of Shirley short because Rolo showed up and he had to keep his facade up for this psycho who killed one of his best friends.

And Lelouch is absolutely the type of person to lie to someone to achieve a goal. He lies to the Student Council that he'll do fireworks with them, to make them happy (and part of him wants to believe it, but he knows he never will get to). He lies to Kallen to keep her alive. If he can lie to Nunnally on the Damocles, the last time he ever speaks with her, to make her think he's a monster, he can lie to Rolo to let the kid die happy.
