After laying Stella's body to rest, Shinn returns to the Minerva with a new determination. When Athrun visits Shinn's room, he finds Shinn and Rey running combat simulations to prepare for a confrontation with the Freedom.
But the Alliance pushed aside
our desire for peace...
Aber die Allianz hat unseren Wunsch
nach Frieden mit den Füßen getreten …

nuestro deseo de paz
Pero la Alianza no respetó
nuestro deseo de paz
L’Alliance a écarté
nos propositions de paix.
Ainda assim, a Aliança da Terra
 dispensou a mão que estendemos.
