Melda Ditz, a Gamilan pilot held by Yamato, asserts that the assault on Earth was justified because humans initiated hostilities during first contact years prior. Daisuke, whose father died in that attack, rejects her account entirely. However, Yamazaki, the only survivor from his father's vessel, discloses the actual events of that day. This revelation forces Daisuke to reconsider his perspective on the conflict and the actions of the Gamilan people. The narrative focuses on the tension between established beliefs and newly uncovered historical truths regarding the origins of the war between Earth and Gamilas.
