As the Dogose Gier-class "Blex Forer" lifts off from Granada, Hayato receives a transmission from Fraw and his children.

>Fraw: Hayato, please be careful out there!
>Letz: Hey, I thought we were going to encourage dad! Kikka, your out of the visual frame-
>Kikka: Papa~! Kick all of those Zeon jerks outta here~! We all love you~!

Kikka holds up Hayato's recently born child with Fraw up to the view screen, with the newborn patting its hands against the screen in an effort to touch Hayato. Hayato delivers a quick salute to his family before announcing a defensive formation around Granada City.

Overhearing Fraw's communication though Milly's modified frequencies, Amuro chuckles to himself.

>Sayla: I actually think it rather sweet-
>Amuro: As do I. Fraw...picked a real hell of a guy.
>Sayla: No use having regret about not asking Fraw-
>Amuro: No regrets at all. Those two were meant for one another. I...want to start living my own life again. No matter what happens, I just want to feel free from your brothers memory.
>Sayla:...Then let me help you be free, Amuro.
>Beltorchika: Aren't you two cute? When you want to be with a real woman though, I am right here~.
>Sayla: Ugh...
>Amuro: Don't go looking for glory. Just follow Hayato's orders and we will make it through this.
