Kallen obviously wanted to say something about that, but seemed to think better of it. Funny. She didn’t have those nervous habits before. Drumming her fingers, tapping her feet, adjusting her seat in a seemingly futile attempt to find the most comfortable sitting position. A side effect of her Stand? Regardless. She was instrumental in his plan. With her at his side, he would mount a rebellion while simultaneously quelling another one. With her skills and JJF working in unison with his, they would form the foundations of an unstoppable army that would eventually rise and swarm over Britannia from the inside out.

The only problem was, he could not be seen as the public figurehead of that organisation. Suzaku’s earlier outburst had made that clear: He would obviously oppose any attempt Lelouch made towards that end. The second he made an obvious use of Painted Black, Suzaku and Nunnally would figure out his involvement. At that point his rebellion might as well come to an end. His identity would be known to the enemy. While he believed with all of his soul that a leader must lead, it is also the case that a leader may never place themselves in check with a move that they made.

Therefore… He needed a figurehead. Someone he could keep close to. Someone he could control. He had already been considering that possibility, though he could think of no suitable candidates to step into the role. But now… Now he had to take that course of action more seriously. Now, he needed to find someone that could meet his requirements. And soon!
