But this is a point on which we must agree to disagree.

Let's agree to disagree, since I see your comment as a long stretch of what happened between them.

Because it isn't the same. Calling it obsession carries the implication that she's doing it just because it's Lelouch, rather than out of any more complex motivation. Moreover, your original phrasing, intentionally or not, implies that Kallen hadn't figured anything out when she clearly did, which changes the reason behind her interruption of Tohdoh. In essence, it transforms a more complex motivation into a petty one.

There is nothing in the anime that suggests otherwise.
We don't see Kallen figuring out anything.
Even in her monologue she doesn't say that she understood what ZR was about or what was going on with Suzaku.
She says she understands the results of what happened, and is impressed by it, but that's it.
So all we are left with is her lying to cover Lelouch's deception.
The only motivation we are given to explain that lie is due to the fact that she is totally in love with him.
To apply a grander reason to it would require more explanation by Okouchi or Taniguichi and we aren't given that.
