Remains quiet while she cries and he rubs her back with his hand, hoping it will bring her some comfort. He hates seeing her cry and knowing that he is responsible for it, but he also feels a lot less guilty than he did when he first walked into the room. After his conversation on the network, he felt like in some ways he was deceiving her. That she had been kissed with someone who she might see as a monster once she learned of the truth.
But even after she learned the truth she still wanted to be close to him. She still wanted him to be happy and didn't push him away. He felt like he could finally say the words to her that he had been holding back for so many reasons. It felt selfish to tell her just how much he cared for her without letting her know the truth.
"I'm happier than I ever thought I could be, Euphy, because I'm here with you."
Being happy with her didn't cause him to completely change how he felt about himself. He knew he was still a murderer and had done terrible things. But he also realized that being with her and letting her get close to him made him feel human again. Something that the new Zero needed to be. The world needed to recover and have someone they could believe in. If he cut everyone off and forgot how to be empathetic, then he'd let Lelouch down and everyone else who sacrificed so much for peace. He doubted he would remember everything that happened, but he'd been told that some people remembered fragments of their time here. All he needed was a fragment of how he felt when he was with Euphy to continue to feel human back in their world.
"Euphy..." Brings a hand to her face and raises it so she can look at him. "I love you."
