I have much to tell you, and I simply cannot let Usagi-chan tell you what message I have left for you, for I fear that I will be misinterpreted if she does. I do not wish to hurt her, or to hurt you by bringing her much grief, so I will directly tell you myself and trust that you will not disappoint my last request.

But before everything, I have a lot of gratitude to express. I would like to thank you, Mamoru-san, for your unwavering bravery in times of battle. I simply cannot count the times you have saved all of us from imminent danger, showing up at just the right times and saving us with one flick of your wrist. It will always be a mystery, Tuxedo Kamen, the way you come when we seem to be in the brink of dying from our enemies' hatred of goodness and justice. Many times have I felt that it was the end for me, that what I was fighting for was a hopeless cause to be ended so tragically in the hands of such evil people. And, in each of those times, you came to bring hope for the triumph of peace and love. Saving Usagi. Saving Chibiusa. Saving all of us.

I just don't know how I could express enough thanks to someone who has saved my life, not only once, but in everyday that we have to fulfill our destinies. Thank you, Mamoru-san. Or rather, thank you, Tuxedo Kamen, for being a faithful guardian to the princess, and to the rest of the senshi as well.

Before I lose all the chances I still have, I would also like to tell you how much you've helped me find myself. Thank you, Mamoru-san, for that day in front of the library steps*. Thank you for your brotherly cheer; thank you for cheering me up; thank you for faintly hinting to me what I can be if I believe in myself even just a little bit. I was feeling low and worthless, yet you managed to put a smile on my face even when Usagi-chan failed to. Yes, very simple words they were, a casual pun if you will call it that, but somehow, the casualness of the things you told me would always be overshadowed by how much it meant to me. You may not even remember anymore; nonetheless, my gratitude to you is great.

Now, I may as well start with what I meant to tell you right from the beginning. Tuxedo Kamen-sama, now that I have gone away, I'm afraid that the Inner Senshi might need your help more than ever. I speak without arrogance or pride when I say that their power will be, more or less, affected by my demise, and I want you to promise me something from this point on. Promise me that you will no longer stand in the shadows watching them fight and appear only when you are needed. A loss has been incurred, therefore, I want you to stand with them in my place, because I do not want them to die just because I did. You must fight with them from the very start, to reduce the danger to the rest of the senshi.

You must understand me. It will not be logical to just come when they need you, to let them fight for themselves because interfering unless needed might imply undermining their efforts. The battle was never about power and its extent, the senshi and their abilities, nor the pride that they take in what they defeat. It's about saving the world from selfish beings, and ensuring that justice will always prevail.

And, I beg you, protect Usagi-chan! She is so innocent and fragile, I cannot forgive myself for not being able to protect her to the end, and I will not forgive you either if you will be careless in doing so. I know you love her--and Chibiusa-chan, too. That will always be a comforting assurance that you will never leave her--but I must be sure so I must also make you swear that you will. Also make sure that nothing untoward will happen to Rei-chan, Mako-chan and Minako-chan. They have spent their lives protecting Sailormoon, and they have you alone to look to as a protector.

Other than that, Mamoru-san, I have nothing to say. Take care and do as I had said; this is my last request to you…

Sincerely, Mizuno Ami-san

PS. I don't know if it's proper to say so, but as I have no more liabilities to anyone when I die, I may as well tell you that I agree--I may have made a very cute doctor! ^_^
