Lunar Authority Forces at Side 2 have dealt a catastrophic blow to the forces of Hayato Kobayashi and the defector forces still loyal to the Karaba organization. Scattered and lacking proper manpower, the survivors of this battle retreat for Side 6 to regroup and resupply, while Hayato returns to Earth to ensure the safety of Fraw and his children. Within the month of their rebellion beginning, the petty infighting born of the Federations ideals and those of Amuro Ray have already drastically depleted their forces, even against an unprepared enemy. As the war rages on, Haman observes the colonies faltering faith in the Ray Army from her private chamber.

>Chara: Lady Haman, would you like any souvenirs from Earth?
>Haman: There is nothing on that planet that interests me...thought I will allow you to bring back something of value for the Emperor.
>Chara: Oooh, my choice~? Exciting~! Oh, might I request one thing of you?
>Haman:...You may.
>Chara: Can you let Susumu and Kaoruko dote on you? Even if they are a little clumsy at it, they both adore you~!
>Haman: I will find tasks for the children. I would prefer if they would turn their focus to serving-
>Chara: Kaoruko's obsession with him has made her older brother all the more jealous. Its actually kind of cute...Haman, please try to take proper care of yourself while I am gone.

As Chara covertly departs for Earth, Haman observes her two children playing with a blond-haired toddler within her immaculate mansion.

>Haman: (Only a little longer now...and then my service to the Deikun family will fulfilled.)
