There is an extra scene after the credits finish rolling. We see a younger Aeolia Schenberg talking to E.A. Ray in a flashback to A.D. 2091. Fifty years after Setsuna's disappearance in A.D. 2364, we see the that the ELS and humanity now co-exist, and the Sumeragi, crewed by Innovators, is preparing for travel. At the end, Setsuna returns to Earth, now fused with the ELS, visiting an older and blind Marina playing the piano, who embraces her. The movie then ends with the words, "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
