The battered Minerva retreats to a port on the Sea of Marmara to repair the damage it sustained in the Dardanelles battle. Troubled by the chaos his former comrades created during the fighting, Athrun decides to leave the Minerva and go in search of the Archangel so that he can talk to Kira and the others in person.
A way that wouldn't have ended up
with lives being sacrificed.
Einen Weg, bei dem keine Leben
hätten geopfert werden müssen.
Un modo sin vidas sacrificadas.
Un modo sin vidas sacrificadas.
Uma forma que não acabasse
 com vidas sendo perdidas.
