[The feed turns on to a serious young man as he examined the tablet in front of him, though that scrutinizing look quickly disappeared when he noticed that the video feed has turned on, in fact looking quite impressed at the device's speed before speaking.]

I don't know if this could be seen by everyone, but it's worth a shot.

[There's a short pause before the male continued.]

How many of you here received a weapon that's out of the norm upon your arrival, and can someone point me out to someone who is experienced with that type of training?

[Before he introduced himself, as per the usual protocols.]

My name is Athrun Zala, it appears I'm as much help as a beginner when it comes to information right now, so any more in addition to the Initiative's words would be welcome.

I know, just. Not like this.

[Not without the Justice, at the very least. And that sentence sounded just like something a certain friend would say back home.]

...It's not always that simple, especially when it concern others.

[rukhkin]

"Not like this?" What do you mean?

[Aladdin knew that, too... He knew that things can't always be so simple. But—]

...why?

[An innocent question. Why is it that people make simple things complicated? If they wanted to save this world, wouldn't the right decision be... is to work together? At least until they make the situation better?

So, why?]

[selfdestructed]

It's a bit complicated to explain unless you know how machine works.

[And even then, he's not sure if this world even has objects he's used to back home.]

...

[That single word left him speechless for quite a while, though.]

Not everyone can be that trustful of others.

[rukhkin]

[Oh. He likely wouldn't be able to give any helpful advice, then. He's still has a struggle on learning how to use a simple microwave, for instance.

... The silence is worrying. Though, understandable. The answer probably doesn't even exist. Everyone has their own reasons, he knows that too, but still...]

I don't want to see worlds ending... I know everyone has their own stand, and that's all right. But for me, I want to do something to help them.

Even if I can't help this world, I want to at least help the people.

[You know, he wanted to believe what the boy said, it's going to be a hard road for him if that's the path he took.

It was a foolish thought but.

He shouldn't take away a child's right to voice their opinion.]

...Sounds like it's going to be a hard path for you.

[rukhkin]

[Even if Athrun didn't admit it, Aladdin already picked up. It's not as if he's the first to tell him how foolish he can be...]

I know. Most things in life are, after all. It's okay... I'd rather do something than not.

[selfdestructed]

[And that got him to smile a bit.]

You know, you're starting to remind me of a friend of mine.

[Since the resemblance in personality is starting to be visible to him.]
