Author's note: It was very heart-breaking for me to write this. I suppose making Kira suffer in this story really made me very guilty and it's really hard to write. This story has already been planned out and the ending isn't very painful or distressing, at least both Kira and Lacus turned out to be happy at the end. So, please read and enjoy…

I will not let you suffer again, Kira…

I never thought that I would break down and lost my senses. Never… And I don't suppose Athrun, Cagalli or anyone else thought I would. I believed that I understood the world, that I would be able to accept all the problems that came, since I had been involved in two major wars. I've seen the people suffer, commanded the Eternal, escaped death closely numerous times and was ultimately, appointed Chairwoman of PLANTS. Being dragged into the war was never my idea, but I survived ordeal after ordeal. Meeting Kira, I suppose, was the best thing that could ever happen to me. And I believe, that if I hadn't been caught up in these wars, I wouldn't have met this charming, young man. However, I never imagined that this would happen to him, not after watching him battle strongly throughout the war, and I never thought that watching him suffer would make me snap and lost all my understanding of the world…
