me and you
chapter 1
you were right about me
"Justice, huh?"
"Yes."
"For me?"
"Possibly. That's for you to decide."
"Are you trying to tell me that I'm nothing but a soldier?"
"That too is something for you to decide."
"Huh?"
"It's scary when someone closes their mind. Thinking, this is it… that's all there is. They only see an end. This may be painful for you at this particular time, having been hurt, but…"

"But I'm not sure he's…"
"On one hand, that's true… but on the other hand, being unable to do anything when you want to help could be the hardest thing to endure."

"Power is nothing but power. And perhaps you are a soldier, but over and above that… you are Athrun, right? I'm sure that's all there is to it."
You were right about me.
You always are. You always were.
You were right to think that I wasn't prepared to take on the burden and responsibility of piloting the Justice.
Because although I am a soldier, I am still Athrun.
And I as Athrun, have my own reasons.
And that concern you show for me, that care for me and all that constitutes you. They make me want to protect you.
Doesn't matter if I'm all battered and bruised, physically or mentally.
Doesn't matter if the cons engulf the pros.
If it's to protect you, I will, without hesitation, pick up that sword and all the responsibilities that come with it.
Because the reason I wield the Justice, the reason Athrun wields Justice, has always been to protect you.
That's why with you first and foremost as the reason, for you, I will fight.
"I... Athrun Zala! Justice, taking off!"
