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.
If we're left without anyone to
carry out our hopes, we're finished!
Wenn es niemanden mehr gibt, der unsere
Hoffnung weiterträgt, haben wir verloren!
Si nadie puede llevar
nuestras esperanzas, será el fin.
Si nadie puede llevar
nuestras esperanzas, será el fin.
Les idéaux meurent si personne
ne reprend le flambeau !
Se ninguém levar nossas 
esperanças adiante, será o fim!
