I love your line about Lelouch constantly expecting betrayal while at the same time hoping against hope that it won't happen. It's so beautiful. So are you suggesting his rage is more toward the situation than Rollo himself? I thought there was quite a bit of hatred shown there, but you could be right.
Yes, he does seem to be playing up his charisma lately. I wonder what keyed him onto that.
That makes sense too. It would be a bit much to exist all memory of Arthur just for Suzaku's "I miss my kitty" fancy. But if the Emperor thought that it was another strike at Lelouch, I could see him going for it.
I still think Suzaku was under a passionate spell throughout the cave scene and afterwards, similar to how Lelouch was when he killed Clovis. It was pure emotion driving him but still allowing thoughts to filter through. But at the same time, shutting out unneeded emotions. That's why I think at this point Suzaku is more lucid and wanting to reach his ideals, but like you said fully understanding their price now.
