No prob. Since aoi_rein was saying she didn't understand how what Lelouch did was betrayal, I was focusing on Suzaku's point of view since it is betrayal in his eyes. Suzaku's betrayal is more tangible and usually needs little explanation. That Suzaku blames himself for everything can has support in the final picture drama, with Suzaku asking if he could have changed things had he told Lelouch about killing his father. We also see Suzaku equate Zero to his father when he's talking to Kallen in episode 19. That's where I get most of that linkage. As for the final part, yes that line is my belief since the creators have gone on about how the boys constantly refer to their friendship while not allowing themselves to learn about each other as they are now. Lelouch wants the Suzaku of the past. He resents this Suzaku greatly and pains for him at the same time, similar to his overall opinion on the Japanese in Area 11. He does want to save Suzaku, but he doesn't quite know what to do.

Don't get me wrong. I love both boys, but I always want to make sure that flaws are explored and acknowledged on both sides. Lelouch killed Euphie and has persisted in denying Suzaku the truth about what happened. I am not saying this is a bad decision, but it is the one he has made. Suzaku, with the knowledge he has, is in full rights to feel betrayed and vengeful.
