I heard that Code Geass was entirely plotted out before they committed production, which is a lesson certain other Sunrise staffers could learn. *growl* It does explain why they were so patient with taking over Japan; while we were going "Hells. How is he going to pull THIS off if the stalemates keep going nowhere in that direction?" the team knew they had the Euphemia card, to rally Japan under Zero with no questions asked. And now that you mention it...gods, that OP counting number is REALLY creepy in context.
At the start of the series, I expected Lelouch would say goodbye to Nanaly but 'killing' himself. Announcing his own death in some battle. It's not like he hasn't done it before (and it would be extremely ironic, being stuck in THAT is a huge part of why he's doing this). Right now...? I'm not sure. There's not a lot of point to killing 'Lelouch' to Nanaly now, does it? Might end the problem of where Lelouch Lamperouge is going to end up now, certainly Ashford Academy's existence is not compatible with his new Japan (another irony : he hates how the Emperor betrayed his family, and he's betraying the only family that's ever nice to him in this. One more shitty effect of the Perma-Geass, eh?), and Zero is now stepping up into spotlight...killing Lelouch would be convenient to his friendships. But his cover's already blown and it seems he knows it in that phone conversation. If the info leaks, Nanaly's in danger. Suzaku might not, Cornelia might not, other people might. And if the Geass is the reason he has to say goodbye? The Geass won't work on Nanaly. She's blind. (I have always thought her blindness is totally significant...he can't even tell her to forget, heh)
So he might play death to the rest of his friends. But to Nanaly? Somehow I think not...unless something else goes to hell that the creators have yet to spring on us.
