I don't think he could have explained at that point and a part of me thinks he is also that Lelouch refuses to show weakness.
Ah right, the pride issue. You're right there.
He's 10 years old, they were fighting and it was an accident.
Hmmm, not really. I think that Suzaku really put in a deep thought about it and tried arguing with his father several times. He then understood that he was too stubborn (bad genes...) and that killing him might be an option. I never got to watch the last picture drama with subs, but I think that Suzaku wanted to ask Lelouch about that BEFORE that last confrontation with his father. I don't think it was an impulsive reaction of say, grabbing a near knife and killing him... I think that, just like with Lelouch on ep 25, Suzaku tried to argue with his father but he was hiding a weapon because deep in his heart he knew what he had to do to change the way things were going. It was premeditated, I really believe that. Those said contradictions are what make of him a hypocrite (please note that I REALLY like him, he's my second fav character). But it's just like spaleween said, Suzaku acts all suicide, noble and all of that because his really own reasons are the most selfish. Not only because of his father's death... In fact, by that time that sole action... Wasn't it selfish at all? And what's he's doing with Lelouch, isn't it the same? He's imposing his own will into others and if they don't accept it he'll just snap them. Because it makes it easier for him - he can't accept them. It's not because of Japan... Because if that's it, then he would've let his father alive in the first place. Lelouch is also doing that, obviously, but he doesn't really hide it. Of course he can't just reveal that to the world, his Zero mask is only a mean to reach his purpose but he knows what he really wants. Suzaku only imposes his selfish desires but he's not really aware of it... and when his mind realizes it, your icon will occur. Moral victories, much? It's well, difficult, really. I call it hypocrisy (and it might apply to both Suzaku and Lelouch, that's why I find their fight USELESS) but in Suzaku's case, it's also a serious low-esteem issue.
I also think there's something "Shinji"-ish on Suzaku, but as opposed to this idiot he actually tries to DO something about it.
