In the wake of the assassination attempt on Lacus, Kira and his friends realize that they have been targeted by the government of the PLANTs. Kira then receives a letter from his sister Cagalli, in which she tells him of her intention to marry Yuna and asks him to return Athrun's ring on her behalf.
But time continues to go on,
as if sneering at these efforts.
Doch die Zeit vergeht weiter,
als würde sie diese Mühen verspotten.
Pero el tiempo avanza
y se burla de estos esfuerzos.
Pero el tiempo avanza
y se burla de estos esfuerzos.
Mais le temps s’écoule
comme pour se gausser de ce choix.
mas o tempo não para e
 zomba desses esforços.
