Kidô senshi Gundam Seed2002

Rau Le Creuset:
[about the Strike Gundam] I gather you were near that machine when it was activated.

Athrun Zala:
I deeply regret my conduct. I was quite upset by the events that were unfolding and failed to report the incident. That final machine... I saw who the pilot was. My friend Kira. We attended the same lunar prep school. He's a Coordinator.

Rau Le Creuset:
Oh?

Athrun Zala:
Yes sir. I never dreamed we'd meet again like this. I had to find out for sure.

Rau Le Creuset:
I see. Irony abounds in warfare. Well, I don't blame you for being upset. I can imagine you were very close to this friend.

Athrun Zala:
Yes.

Rau Le Creuset:
Very well. I'm taking you off the next sortie. I think it's best. You wouldn't be able to point a gun at such a friend. And I have no desire to put you in that position.

Athrun Zala:
No, commander, couldn't you...

Rau Le Creuset:
Even if he was your friend, now that he might be an enemy, we must eliminate him. I'm sure you can understand that.

Athrun Zala:
Kira... he fails to see he's being manipulated by the Naturals. Young as he is, he's also naive and good-natured. They're exploiting him but he's blind to it. That's why I have to go back. I have to reason with him. Kira is still a fellow Coordinator. I'm positive he'll come around to our way of thinking.

Rau Le Creuset:
I know how you feel. However, what if he won't listen to you?

Athrun Zala:
If that should happen, I'll shoot him down myself.
