...not that that makes it any less likely to be feverspeak. his shoulders bow a tiny bit, some of his resolve already slipping away. does Lelouch want all of them to stay awake? him too? it's hard to say, when he's not sure Lelouch ever noticed him here. --heh, isn't that self-pitying.
but self-pity is still better than allowing himself to be bitter that the supposed cure didn't work. it's not Tear's fault. surely Lelouch is worse off than the people she's helped before. ]
