Athrun has arranged a meeting with Kira and Cagalli, but the old friends no longer see eye to eye. Even after hearing of the assassination attempt on Lacus, Athrun still believes in Chairman Durandal's good intentions, and he returns to the Minerva after urging his friends to keep Orb from participating in the war.
...but we don’t want you fighting against
Orb, even with the way things are now.
aber wir wollen nicht, dass du gegen Orb
kämpfst, ungeachtet der Lage.
pero no queremos que luches contra Orb.
pero no queremos que luches contra Orb.
On aurait juste voulu éviter
que tu combattes Orb.
mas não queremos que você lute 
contra a Orb nem na situação atual.
