Possessing Asuna's body, Arshem stalks Yamato in order to kill him, but fails when he notices her. In an attempt to maintain her cover, she lies and tells him she's in love with him. Later, Yamato and his teammates learn that one of the pilots has been assassinated.
I, Asuna, am in love with Yamato! 
There is nothing unnatural about that!
Ich, Kanzaki, bin in dich verliebt, Yamato!
Da ist nichts Unnatürliches dran!
¡No hay nada raro en que Kanzaki
esté enamorada de Yamato!
Moi, Asuna, je suis amoureuse de Yamato !
C’est tout à fait normal !
Io, Kanzaki, sono innamorata di Yamato!
