沙霧は大陸の戦線で重傷を負い内地送還、疑似生体移植の後に彩峰中将の計らいで帝都守備隊に転属となりました。
彩峰中将は難民保護を優先し光州作戦を失敗させたとして国連軍から糾弾され、国際社会の追究緩和と軍規遵守徹底の人身御供として処刑されてしまいます。
彩峰中将を父のように慕っていた沙霧は、中将の想いを継ぎ、真に民の益となる未来の礎となるため「外道」を振る舞うことを選んだのです。
そして、自身を慕っていた彩峰中将の娘・慧に様々な累が及ばぬよう各情報機関の目に付く決別の手紙をわざわざしたためました。
沙霧が慕った人物が、『EXTRA篇』では慧の母、『Muv_Luv ALTERNATIVE』では慧の父とすることで、恩義に報いる彼のアプローチを「母性的(EXTRA)」と「父性(ALTERNATIVE)的」という対比構造にしています。
沙霧が決起に到る初動経緯は『Muv_Luv Regenerative Vol. 01』の「12・5事件」解説で見る事が出来ます。
人類の命運を変えた『12・5事件』に『トータル・イクリプス』の巌谷、夕呼、煌武院悠陽、榊首相などが、各勢力がどのように関わり、どんな思惑だったのか、など、作品横断的に俯瞰解説していますので、ご興味あれば是非!
Sagiri was gravely wounded on the continental front, sent back to the mainland, and following a prosthetic biological implant surgery, was transferred to the Imperial Capital Defense Force through the arrangements of Lieutenant General Ayamine.
Lieutenant General Ayamine was condemned by the UN forces for prioritizing refugee protection and causing the failure of the Kwangju Operation, and was ultimately executed as a scapegoat to appease international pressure and demonstrate strict military discipline.
Sagiri, who had revered Lieutenant General Ayamine like a father, chose to conduct himself as a 'villain' in order to carry on the General's wishes and lay the groundwork for a future that would truly benefit the people.
And in order to ensure that no harm would befall Kei — the daughter of Lieutenant General Ayamine, who had looked up to Sagiri — he deliberately wrote a letter of severance conspicuous enough to catch the eyes of various intelligence agencies.
By setting the person Sagiri revered as Kei's mother in the Extra arc and Kei's father in Muv-Luv Alternative, the approach he takes in repaying his debt of gratitude is structured as a contrast between the 'maternal (Extra)' and the 'paternal (Alternative).'
The initial circumstances that led Sagiri to launch his uprising can be found in the '12.5 Incident' commentary in Muv-Luv Regenerative Vol. 01.
It provides a cross-work, bird's-eye view explanation of the '12.5 Incident' that changed the fate of humanity — covering how the various factions were involved and what their respective intentions were, including figures such as Iwaya and Yuuko from Total Eclipse, Koubuin Yuuhi, and Prime Minister Sakaki. Highly recommended if you're interested!

【Muv_Luv ALTERNATIVEのネタバレ注意】
ご指摘以外にも、『EXTRA篇』に潜ませた『Muv_Luv ALTERNATIVE』の伏線ですが「たけるが投げたすみかの靴が返ってくる」など、わかりやすいもの以外にも沢山の伏線がちりばめられています。
例えば……
▼以下、ネタバレ注意
【例1】
『Muv_Luv ALTERNATIVE』での「あ号標的」との対決シーンと『EXTRA篇』の露天風呂で純夏と冥夜の会話を聞くシーンは対になっています。
■解説
冥夜と純夏の覚悟と決断を、武は傍観することしかできない。夕呼先生が男湯側にいるのは偶然ではない。
【例2】
めいやが、横浜に巨大な御殿を建てて周囲を更地にしてしまう。
■解説
すみかにとって冥夜は「平和を破壊し武を奪う」脅威の存在=BETAと同質の存在として無意識下で認識されていた。その情報を受け取った「あ号標的」は、災害の発生源(凄乃皇の攻撃力)を封じたあと、自分と同質存在の可能性がある冥夜と、純夏がずっと「逢いたい」と繰り返していた「武ちゃん」が揃ったので観察していた。決して空気を読んでいたわけでないw
【例3】
『EXTRA篇』の沙霧と『オルタ』の沙霧の補完関係。
■解説
『EXTRA』と『ALTERNATIVE』の2つの世界は、同じ人物の言動を総合的に推察すれば、その真意が見える補完構造になっている。
クーデター事件での沙霧の役割は「パイドパイパー」の笛吹きである。
大義と慧の父の意志を継ぐために、自ら捨て石となって極右派をあぶり出し一網打尽にする手引きを全うした。
このオルタ沙霧の義心を理解できると、EXTRA沙霧の真意が読めるようになる。
EXTRA 沙霧が慕ったのは慧の母であり、その娘として慧を可愛がり、慈しんだに過ぎない。
だが父親を失った家庭環境から精神的に早熟したケイ(当時小学生)は、精神が幼い同年代とはなじめなかったが、初めて親しく接する大人の男性に、甘えとも憧れとも恋心とも付かない複雑な思慕を抱く。
それに気づいた沙霧は距離を取り冷たくあしらったが、思春期の慧はその想いをひきずっていた。
そんな慧が珍しく連れてきた同年代の男(武)を見た沙霧は、慧の母に対する忠儀から大人として一計を案じる。
武に対して「ゲスな男」を演じてあおり、慧を託そうとした――というのが、語られない真相。
冥夜ができなかった「嘘を墓までもっていく」という大人の所作を沙霧は全うした。
これは、慧が語る話を「10代の視野と感受性で語る主観的認識」として考慮せず鵜呑みにし、すべて真に受けてしまう「キャラへの想い入れ」による先入観と錯誤を利用した一種の叙述トリック。
私の乏しい文才ではプレイヤーが真相を細かく読み取れないのは重々承知ですが、その片鱗は考察できた人がいたら嬉しいですね。
他にも「オルタ沙霧とEXTRA沙霧の秘めた決意がわかる対比」など、かなり色々ありますので、是非探してみてください!
【Spoiler Warning for Muv-Luv Alternative】
In addition to the foreshadowing already pointed out, there are many more hints planted in the Extra arc that foreshadow Muv-Luv Alternative — some more obvious, like 'the shoe Takeru threw at Sumika coming back around and around,' and many others scattered throughout.
For example……
▼Spoilers Below
【Example 1】
The confrontation scene with the 'Type-00' target in Muv-Luv Alternative and the scene in the Extra arc where Takeru overhears Sumika and Meiya's conversation in the open-air bath are paired as mirror images of each other.
■Explanation
Takeru can do nothing but watch Meiya and Sumika. It is no coincidence that Yuuko-sensei is on the men's bath side.
【Example 2】
Meiya builds a massive mansion in Yokohama and levels everything around it.
■Explanation
On a subconscious level, Sumika perceived Meiya as a threat equivalent to the BETA — a being who 'steals Takeru, destroying her peaceful world.' Having received that information, the Type-00 target, after neutralizing the source of the calamity (Susanoo's offensive capability), was observing Meiya — who it recognized as a potentially similar existence to itself — along with 'Takeru-chan,' whom Sumika had repeatedly longed to meet again. It was most certainly not simply 'reading the room' lol
【Example 3】
The complementary relationship between Sagiri in the Extra arc and Sagiri in Alternative
▼Explanation
The two worlds of Extra and Alternative form a complementary structure in which the true intentions of a character become visible when their words and actions across both worlds are considered together comprehensively.
Sagiri's role in the coup d'état incident was that of the Pied Piper.
In order to carry on the cause and the will of Kei's father, she made herself a sacrificial pawn — fulfilling her role in drawing out the far-right faction and sweeping them up in one fell swoop.
Once you understand Alternative Sagiri's sense of loyalty and justice, you become able to read the true intentions behind Extra Sagiri's actions.
What Extra Sagiri cherished was Kei's mother — and she simply doted on and cared for Kei as her daughter. Nothing more.
However, Kei — who had grown emotionally precocious due to losing her father (she was in elementary school at the time) — was unable to fit in with emotionally immature peers her own age, and developed a complex attachment toward Sagiri, the first adult man she had ever been close to: something that could not quite be called dependence, admiration, or romantic feeling, yet carried elements of all three.
Noticing this, Sagiri kept his distance and treated her coldly — but Kei, now in adolescence, continued to carry those feelings.
When Sagiri saw the boy Kei's age (Takeru) that she had unusually brought along — a rare occurrence — he devised a plan befitting an adult, out of his loyalty to Kei's mother.
The unspoken truth is that Sagiri deliberately played the role of a 'vulgar man' to provoke Takeru, in an attempt to entrust Kei to him.
Sagiri carried through the adult's act of 'taking the lie to the grave' — something Meiya was unable to do.
This is a form of narrative trick that exploits the preconceptions and misreadings born of 'emotional attachment to a character' — the tendency to take everything Kei says at face value, without considering that her account is a subjective perception filtered through the narrow viewpoint and sensibilities of a teenager.
I am fully aware that my limited literary talent makes it difficult for players to pick up on the truth in such fine detail — but I would be delighted if there are those out there who managed to catch even a glimpse of it through their own analysis.
There are quite a lot more to be found, so please try searching for them!

生き様の軸を持つ冥夜は、決して武に従属するような少女ではないので、そういう関係値ではないですねw
【マブラヴ オルタネイティヴのネタバレ注意】
純夏にとって冥夜は「幼馴染み」という特別な立場=当たり前ともおもわず受していた平和と安寧を脅かし、奪い、破壊する存在です。
つまり、人類にとってのBETAと同じ存在です。
※武にとってのUNLIMITED世界と同じ。
この無意識下で認識された認識は、類似情報として「あ号標的」の重要な調査対象となりました。
※BETAは生命体(他の珪素生命)を侵害してはならないという禁則があるからです。
この冥夜に対する純夏の認識の因果が巡り、桜花作戦は成功しました。
つまり「EXTRA篇」に於ける冥夜は後の『オルタ』に備えた「あ号標的」のメタファーの役割を与えられているのです。
「定型的な日常に突如現れ、既存価値や人間関係(社会)を混乱させ破壊する」
「言葉が通じて特定の倫理感も持っているが、概念や視座、認識の齟齬によるディスコミュニケーションが摩擦や衝突、ハプニングを発生させる」
こう書くと「EXTRA篇」の冥夜の言動とBETAや「あ号標的」の言動の類似性が理解できると思います。
その冥夜が「あ号標的」と対峙して共に消滅することは、正に、純夏の心を拘束していた因果の昇華そのものなのです。それによって武が「因果導体」から解放されることは、自明でしょう。
Meiya, who possesses her own firm axis of values to live by, is absolutely not the kind of girl who subordinates herself to Takeru — so that's not the nature of their relationship lol
【Spoiler Warning for Muv-Luv Alternative】
For Sumika, Meiya is a being that threatens, steals, and destroys the peace and tranquility she had accepted as a matter of course — the special position of 'childhood friend' that she held. In other words, Meiya represents the same kind of existence to Sumika as the BETA represent to humanity. ※ The same as the Unlimited world represents to Takeru.
This subconsciously perceived recognition became an important subject of investigation for the Type-00 target as analogous information. ※ This is because the BETA operate under a prohibition against violating other living organisms (other silicon-based lifeforms).
Through the karmic cycle of Sumika's perception of Meiya, Operation Lucifer succeeded.
In other words, Meiya in the Extra arc is given the role of a metaphor for the Type-00 target in preparation for the later events of Alternative.
'Appearing suddenly within an established daily routine, disrupting and destroying existing values and human relationships (society).'
'Communication is possible and certain ethical sensibilities are present, yet miscommunication arising from discrepancies in concepts, perspectives, and perception generates friction, conflict, and unexpected incidents.'
When framed this way, I believe the similarities between Meiya's words and actions in the Extra arc and those of the BETA and the Type-00 target become clear.
The fact that Meiya confronts the Type-00 target and disappears along with it is precisely the sublimation of the karmic bonds that had bound Sumika's heart. That this leads to Takeru's liberation from his role as a 'Causality Conductor' is self-evident.
