"PAST" is the seventh episode of the Astra Lost in Space anime.

Summary

Charce reveals that like Aries, he is also a transfer student who arrived after Aries. He admits that he didn't reveal this earlier since he didn't want to talk about his past since he is from the Vixia Royal Quarter, the only nation on Earth that is still ruled by the nobility. In the past, he had befriended a commoner girl named Seira and smuggled her into the area reserved only for nobles. When she was caught by a guard, Seira resisted and was pushed off a building, falling into a coma due her injuries. Some time later, Seira's family left Vixia, taking her with them. Charce left as well, swearing to learn biology so he could hopefully find and heal Seira someday. The rest of the group are touched by Charce's tragic story, and Charce remarks that Aries reminds him of Seira. Afterward, the group reaches the next planet, Icriss. However, Icriss' rotation is perfectly in sync with its orbit around its sun, meaning one side is permanently scorching hot while the other side is permanently freezing cold, meaning the only safe place to forage is the region directly between both extremes. Unfortunately, as they attempt to find a landing spot, the Astra is attacked by a massive carnivorous plant, resulting in the Astra suffering significant damage that makes reaching space impossible. Zack points out they do not have the parts or resources to repair the damage, so they will have to accept living on Icriss as their new home. Later, Charce leads a foraging party and discovers a second ship similar to the Astra. The group examines the ship, noting it is heavily damaged and seemingly abandoned. Zack then realizes there is somebody preserved in the ship's hibernation pod for the past 12 years, and the group opens it to reveal a young woman inside.
