Athrun has arranged a meeting with Kira and Cagalli, but the old friends no longer see eye to eye.

...but no matter how you cut it, since then,
the Earth Forces have created this fiasco!

pero desde entonces,
la Alianza Terrestre creó este fiasco.
mais après ça,

mas qualquer um vê que foram
 as Forças da Terra que criaram esse fiasco!
