That's right. Because I'm...
That was all me. Not her! I did all that.
Meer.
Athrun!
Athrun!!
Athrun! You're alive!
Stop right there!
Athrun?
Athrun.
Miss Lacus.
Hello, Miss Meer. Nice to finally meet you.
B-But I'm the real Lacus!
Because... I'm right, aren't I?!
I have the same voice and face as her!
I'm the real Lacus! What's wrong with that?!
Meer! Cut it out! You're...
If it's my name you want, you may have it.
And my appearance.
But even then... You and I will still be different people.
That will never change.
Watch out!
Miss Meer!
Miss Meer... Miss Meer!
Please remember... my song...
And... my life.
Is this you?
Meer!
I would've liked to... meet you... properly.
All of you.
Meer!
Get her to the Archangel right away, Mu!
I'm sorry...
Miss Meer!
Meer!
Damn it!

Shielding Miss Lacus?
Yeah.
She was the only one who noticed. She jumped out.
It all happened on the hand of my machine.
I'm so ashamed.
She's from the PLANTs, right? Know anything other than her name?
No, nothing.
I never bothered to ask her anything.
What's this?
October 11th. Today, my bandages finally came off.
Kind of a strange feeling.
I look in the mirror, and I see a face. It's Lacus Clyne.
- What's this? - It's Meer's...
Diary, I guess.
Strange. So strange. Why, it's Lacus from any angle.
I'm her number one fan and even I can't tell the difference!
I know that representing her, substituting for her, is going to be a tough job.
But I'm gonna do my best. I'm gonna do it perfectly!
My voice is no problem. Everyone says I sound like her.
I've gotta be careful about how I talk... and behave.
Aside from singing, Miss Lacus rarely appears in public...
...so I have no idea what she's normally like.
Is she as cool as she seems when she gives speeches.
I doubt that very much. Miss Lacus is a young lady, after all.
I wonder what brand of makeup she uses.
I hope they look into those details properly.
The opportunity came out of the blue.
It's not quite the debut I dreamed of...
...but when you think about it, this is even better.
I've always wanted to be like Miss Lacus, so this is incredible.
Sure, I'm worried about whether I can pull something like this off...
But this is way better than just dreaming about it.
There's no way to tell how this is gonna turn out! All I can do is try my best!
All right! I'll give it my best shot!
Miss Lacus' job, first and foremost, is to sing...
No, that's not really true!
It's to actively pursue ways to help the PLANTs and the world achieve peace.
I imagined it would be tough to do, but it's even harder than I expected.
Yesterday, I finally met Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal. Wow!
He asked to see me, and I listened to what he had to say.
Apparently, Earth is in a state of panic.
Something about Junius Seven falling on Earth or something.
He says the real Miss Lacus isn't in the PLANTs right now.
Does that mean he wants me to make an appearance?
This soon? Wow! What if that happens?!
Athrun!
Today was a really big day! I knew I'd have to get involved in this eventually!
It's Athrun! Athrun! Athrun Zala!
The Chairman told me that I'd be meeting him eventually. But wow!
I really did get to meet him!
He's serious, cool, and a wonderful person, just like I thought!
Perhaps it's because of the war, but he was in a bad mood today.
But he's the person who betrayed his own father to be with Miss Lacus!
I'll bet he's really nice to her.
They must really be in love with each other!
Oh, if only I could be that close to him!

My work is in full swing now.
I'm a bit nervous. It's a lot of work.
It's really hard to do my job in the middle of a war.
But everyone sure loves Miss Lacus. They all treat me well.
I feel a bit bad because I'm a fake.
But the feelings I have, to support everyone, couldn't be more real!
I'll do my best! Like Miss Lacus! Like Miss Lacus!
I hope my voice reaches everyone!
Let's all make every effort to end this war soon!

It's been a while since I last saw Athrun!
I'm so lucky the Minerva was here at the same time!
But I didn't expect Athrun to be so shy.
We're engaged, so I wish he would at least act like we are.
I guess he really is devoted to Miss Lacus.
But still... It would be so great if someone like him was in love with me.

There's always a huge crowd wherever I go...
...on the Morale-Boosting Concert Tour!
Even the people of Earth cheer for me! It's such a great feeling!
I was so moved when I first saw that pink ZAKU made for me!
I have to give it my best!
But there's still no sign of the war ending. What a troubling situation.
What the Chairman says is right, so why won't everyone listen?
People. I'm Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal.
Please forgive me for sending you this message at a time when we have yet to...
...find a solution to end this war between the PLANTs and the people of Earth.
But please, take a moment to listen to what I have to say.
It is a fact that this war began...
...when a few Coordinators caused a major catastrophe.
What the Alliance is doing is terrible.
I can't find it in my heart to forgive them.
What I just said are the words of Lacus Clyne.
I'll do anything if it'll help change the world!
Oh, please change! Everyone, listen to what I have to say!
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
These days I can't help but think how incredible this work is.
It's more than just singing songs.
The Chairman's words and my words are moving this world.
Sure, everyone listens because they think it's Miss Lacus talking.
But right now, it's me talking.
I don't write my own speeches, but I truly believe in what I'm saying!
I'm the one here right now.
That means these words are mine. It's okay to think that, right?
But why?! Why are things turning out this way?!
Athrun's not thinking clearly!
I am not the type who will become his toy and fight as he says.
Why?! What the Chairman says is right!
So why are you doing this?!
Hurry!
Athrun.
Athrun! Why?!
The Chairman is only interested in people...
...who will play the roles that he assigns them!
A "Lacus" who he can use to his benefit, and me, as a mobile suit pilot!
When the time comes, you will be killed as well! So come with me!
That won't happen! Ah, but...
...what he's saying may be true, so... No! That would never happen!
I-I... I'm Lacus!
Meer!
No!!
It's Lacus! I'm Lacus!
I'd rather be Lacus!
I shouldn't have gone along with the Chairman's plan to use her.
I should've told him that it was wrong.
Yeah.
But you couldn't really have told him so in direct terms.
There are many things that we have no way of knowing until after the fact.
If Lacus hadn't been targeted...
...both of us probably would've believed Chairman Durandal.
He's the one who said it's better not to fight.
But it's wrong for him to put a label on Lacus, tell us what she should be like...
...and that any Lacus who's not like that is not needed.
Right.
That kind of world is an arrogant one.
Very likely.
Do not be deceived by the appearance of that person.
I am Lacus Clyne.
Lacus Clyne...
So what is Lacus Clyne really?
Who is she? Me?
The Chairman told me not to worry. That I saved the world.
That's true, isn't it? I did that. So I'm... I'm...
Please remember... my song...
And... my life.
I will always remember. Miss Meer.
I will never forget you.
Right now, the feelings of sorrow and anger that you're experiencing...
...are mine as well.
Why did something like this happen?!
Although I realise it's too late now... that's it's pointless to dwell upon it...
...my heart wanders, searching for answers.
We all experienced a major war not too long ago.
And we made a pledge when that war ended.
Never to repeat those mistakes again.
Yet, Junius Seven fell, and despite our efforts another war broke out.
It escalated beyond our control...
...and as a result, once again we have to grapple with this sorrow and suffering.
So how in the world could this happen?
How did these foolish tragedies arise once again?
One reason, as I previously brought up...
...is, unquestionably, the existence of Logos.
They create an enemy, promote fear to make the two sides fight...
...and collect whatever profit is gained from it.
Throughout history, they're the people who've thrived in the shadows...
The merchants of death.
But we have finally succeeded in destroying them!
That's precisely why I wish to make this announcement.
It's begun.
- Now is the time... - Yes.
...for us to fight against another, enemy... the greatest of them all!
And we must defeat this enemy as well, if we wish to be truly liberated!
I'm sure that you all know by now.
Our greatest enemy is the reason why conflict has been with us...
...since the dawn of time, and why it will never disappear.
An enemy that has been with us all along.
This enemy that we continue to fall short of overcoming...
...is none other than our own ignorance and selfish ambitions!
Even now, after leaving Earth and reaching the heavens...
...and learning the secrets of the body's potential...
...people still fail to understand each other.
They don't understand themselves, and are unsure of the future.
Such anxiety. To be equal? No, to have more! To be richer!
Our hands reach endlessly for limitless desires!
Right now, that's what we are! The seeds of conflict!
That's where the entire problem lies!
But we're now at a point where we can put an end to it.
Where we will put an end to it!
We have acquired the means to overcome it!
The answer to everything has always been within all of us!
Gilbert!
As the world is now, none of us really knows who we are.
We're unaware of our strengths, or our role in all of this.
We spend our lives troubled by the times.
He was very unfortunate.
If only he had realised earlier who he was...
...he would've understood his strengths and his role...
...and lived where he could've fully utilized his skills.
Mr. Chairman...
As a result, people will know others, know themselves, and the future.
If the world becomes a place where everybody can live happily...
...there will never be another war, ever.
This is the only way to prevent these tragedies from repeating themselves!
I hereby initiate "The Destiny Plan."
The ultimate plan designed to transform the way humanity exists!
Kimi no sugata wa boku ni niteiru Your appearance is similar to mine
Shizuka ni naiteru youni mune ni hibiku It reverberates to my chest As though it's quietly crying
Nani mo shiranai houga shiawase to iu kedo While it is said ignorance is bliss
Boku wa kitto manzoku shinai hazu dakara I probably wouldn't be satisfied anyway
Boku ga eranda ima o ikitai, soredake I want to live in The present of my choosing, that is all
Kimi no hayasa wa boku ni niteiru Your speed is similar to mine
Hadome no kikanaku naru sora ga kowaku natte I become afraid of the skies Which become impossible to restrain
Boku wa itsumade ganbareba ii no How much longer do I need To keep this up
Futari nara owaraseru koto ga dekiru The two of us can put an end to this

Yes, it was what we hoped for. A world with no battles.
Peaceful days. But is this the right path to achieve that?
While still unsure where this is headed...
...Shinn feels Rey's words pierce through him.
How long can one continue to believe, even if it is their dream?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
