Aboard the Archangel, the injured Athrun thinks back upon the path he has followed to this point. Even though he saw the pointlessness of war during the previous conflict, he rejoined ZAFT and fought alongside the Minerva crew in order to bring the new war to an end.
We're not on the front lines,
but don't let your guard down!
Wir sind zwar nicht an der Front,
aber werden nicht unachtsam!
Le front est loin,
mais restez sur vos gardes.
Não é a linha de frente,
 mas não se descuidem.
