To be frank, I don't trust either faction leader. They're both promising so much without proving they can deliver.

[Athrun has experience himself with charismatic leader figures deceiving the people in general, and him in particular. One of which was his own father, in fact!]

I guess, if I had to pick one right here and now...I'd like to save the world I'm from. It feels unfair to only give a select few that I'm connected to a second chance, while abandoning the billions of other people to their fate. And while my world has a lot of problems...

[He takes a deep breath.]

...Well, it's still home.
