Quotes[]
| “ | Lacus: "I'm fine, thank you. Your friend treated me very well while I was on that other ship." Athrun: "Is that right?" Lacus: "Mr. Kira is a very kind person. And he's very strong." Athrun: "He's a fool. He insisted that he's not a soldier, yet he's still in that thing. He's just being used! Something about his friends, he says! Because his parents are naturals. That's why..." Lacus: "He said he would rather not fight against you." Athrun: "Same here! Why should I want to?!" |
