[ From here. Also, still trying to get a feel for timeline here. Information: not matching up. Hmm.]

District?

[gurenpiloting]

[She nods, emitting a slight hum in the back of her throat.]

This old Japanese district known as Ukiyo. Not exactly the best place to live in.

[thekingsgambit]

[Wait, what?]

What were you doing there?

[gurenpiloting]

[LOOKING AWAY, god why.]

... It's a red light district, Lelouch.

[S-sighs.]

A couple of people from back home were trapped there with me.

[thekingsgambit]

[OMG I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW.]

I-I know what it is!

[Takes a long breath.]

How did you get trapped there?

[gurenpiloting]

[TOO LATE, YOU JUST DID.]

Y-You could have fooled me!

[ALSO NOT BLUSHING, NOPE.]

... I was knocked unconscious on my way to school after taking care of my mother. Then I had this weird dream about fulfilling a wish and, well... I woke up in this strange new place.

[thekingsgambit]

[Well, he's not either. So they can both exist in their non-blushing world, yes. Which is slowly clearly with more of her explanation since wow that kind of sounds familiar.]

... A wish? What type of wish?

[gurenpiloting]

... A beautiful wish.

[She finally spares him a glance, shoulders shaking ever so slightly.]

T-that you made it come true.

[thekingsgambit]

[Old memories of blood and metal race through his head, at the way she utters that phrase. Something about it, about that sincerity and... pain? Could she be from then?

When he speaks again, his tone is very careful, controlled, unreadable.]

And... what wish was that?

[gurenpiloting]

[She never thought she would reveal this important bit of information, much less to Lelouch, but he has to know.

A light sigh escapes her mouth as her vision turns slightly blurry.]

... For my mother to continue living in a world full of peace.

[thekingsgambit]

[Closes eyes slowly, accepting what he now knows about where she comes from, later displacement aside.]

... To think Kallen would have such a wish...

I... never asked you. Perhaps I should have.

[gurenpiloting]

[Gd it, she's holding back tears and smiling. She really missed him.]

Lelouch, I-! No, I should have told you sooner. It's just...

[thekingsgambit]

[Why do I keep making Kallens cry? :( Also, looking back at her again.]

There were always things in the way. All I could do was look forward, but in doing so, I realized... much later that there were things I... left behind.

[gurenpiloting]

[Because you're the only one who can make them dere D:. Her shoulders shake some more as she reaches for her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.]

I knew why you had to. But no matter what, I... I will always welcome you back!

[Goddamn it.]

Remember that!

[thekingsgambit]

Kallen...

[Slowly reaches out to draw her closer.]

[gurenpiloting]

[Screw wiping those tears of hers. As soon as he draws her close, she wraps her arms tightly around him, pulling him into a strong embrace.]
