After returning to the White Base, Amuro is held in isolation. Meanwhile, with his resupply delayed, Ral switches his strategy and uses small Cui tanks and hand-to-hand guerilla warfare. Ral and his men expect their enemy to be formidable, but when they find nothing but child soldiers aboard the White Base, they cannot hide their astonishment. Within the chaos, Ral runs into Sayla, but...
Amuro only came back because
he was momentarily homesick.
Amuro kam doch wegen
eines Anflugs von Heimweh zurück.
Parece que volvió
porque sentía nostalgia.
Parece que ha vuelto
porque sentía morriña.
S’il est revenu,
c’est parce qu’il se sentait seul.
O Amuro só voltou porque 
sentiu uma saudadinha de casa.
Амуро вернулся только потому что
соскучился по дому.
