There wasn't much else for Lelouch to do but wait for Schneizel to leave. He slumped down, putting his head on the table. Wrapped his arms around his head and took several deep, deep breaths.

"Hehehehe..." His body started to tremble. "Hehehehehahahahahahahahahaha!"

Lelouch swept up to his feet and cast his hand out to the side. "Schneizel, you fool! You think you've cornered me? You think you have cut me off from the Black Knights? You think this move has squashed my rebellion?!" With his other hand Lelouch reached up to the sky, as though holding aloft a glass of wine that was filled to the very brim and might spill at any time.

"You think that making me visible will diminish my power? You think that making me step into the light will force me to capitulate to a broken system? You are wrong! Although Painted Black's invisibility is a terrifying force to behold, I have also learned something else!

"That making the invisible visible can be every bit as devastating! My rebellion may have to change its shape... But it will not die so easily! Hahahahahahahaha... Useless! Hahahahahahaha!"
