Ami went home.

[That's all you get. No helpful remark, no explanation, no quip. Just a simple public text message to the network.

Ami is one of the first senshi to fight alongside Usagi. She is one of Rei's very first friends.

And Ami was the first senshi to show up in Adstringendum alongside Rei.

Now there were three.]

She can't complete her mission here.

[sauceytomato]

still doesn't make it hurt any less.

[God he's starting to sound like a broken record. He wants to hit everyone that says it's okay for people to leave.]

[marsfireignite]

I know that. I've been here long enough.

[bunny_flower]

I made mochi, Hino-san.

[marsfireignite]

Thanks.

[bunny_flower]

Would you like to have tea with me? It has been a while.

[marsfireignite]

... sure.

[promotedmsnger]

Oh...

Are you alright?

[marsfireignite]

Fine.

She was the first person to welcome me here.

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[marsfireignite]

She's one of the nicest people I know.

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

And very smart too.

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[marsfireignite]

She's the smartest person you'll ever meet. She's the reason everyone got into the high school they wanted to.

[There should be more, so much more, but what can she say when she feels like an enormous part of her just got torn away from right inside her? She knew this sort of thing happened, but this is the first time, this time.]

Do you want to come over?

[text]

[marsfireignite]

[Rei almost says 'no', but that's not what Usagi wants to hear. Because it's not so much a 'Do you want to come over?' as a 'I need you to come over'.]

Sure.
