Pure weightlessness. Unlike the embrace of the ocean she had felt before, Amate finds herself drifting within an endless, black void. Readjusting her eyes, she finds herself floating above the Earth, its blue luster of its oceans once again calling out for her.

>Amate:(Back in space? No...why am I-)
>Lalah?: (Thank you for trusting in me. I...can feel myself fading back to Amuro. Back to his side to always observe...)
>Amate: (What happened between all of you? Char...did he...kill you?)
>Lalah?: (My life was ended by his hand...but it was my atonement. My offering for Amuro to be spared Char's wrath. My punishment for stripping away the Devil that had grown beyond Amuro's control. Soon, you and that poor child will be able to hear one another again, over that city of sand...)
>Amate: (Du! You said there is still time for me to save her! What must I do?!)
>Lalah?: (Soon, she shall begin a new cycle of destruction. In the end of her rampage, her life will cease-)
>Amate: (Just shut up and tell me how to help her! We are going to escape together! We will visit the ocean, then the entire Earth! When there is nothing left to see, we can both go back home together! So please...! Just tell me what I have to-)

Lalah fading spirit grabs onto Amate's corporeal hands, squeezing them gently.

>Lalah?: (...I am truly sorry. She can't be saved in the way you are believing.)
>Amate: (What? What do you-)
>Lalah?: (You have the power to put her spirit to rest. When she passes away, you can guide her to pass on peacefully-)
>Amate: (You lied to me!)
>Lalah?: (Should she continue to live, she will take you to a place where both of you shall never return from. Her delusion will become yours...and both of you shall be lost forever in that delusion, even in death.)
