Perhaps, you have never been one to show your most intimate feelings, and maybe this is the reason why they often misunderstand you. You have always appeared as strong, confident and aggressive...the first time I saw you, the same thoughts crossed my mind. You're also so confusing and secretive, and it made my mind whirl so. How could I forget what had happened back then when I accused you of going against Usagi, when it wasn't so? Gommenesai... I had been foolish, and I obviously didn't know you much. After that incident, I have suddenly envisioned you in a different light. I saw you--soft-hearted, generous, kind and loving...and then I asked myself how could I have been so blind? The real you was there all along, and I have failed to see it sooner.

I can still remember how you were back then. You never got in anybody's way of happiness even if it meant suffering and pain for you. You are still like that, and it makes me worry so much for you. I could see how sad your eyes were, and how much you were trying to fight back. The others were oblivious, too busy worrying about Usagi's situation. But I could not forget the look in your eyes, so deep and saddened. As I placed my hand on your shoulder, and asked about how you were doing, I knew it wasn't enough. But you smiled--and it assured me that you would heal. And you did. You never cease to astound me with your emotional strength...

Rei-chan, please be happy. You worry about others' sake too much, that you tend to forget yourself. Someone like you deserves to be glad and free of worries! I know and believe in your capabilities. I have faith in your decisions--just follow wherever your heart and destiny leads you, and you can never be lost.

And when it is time to follow your own path, please remember that we're always here for you, no matter what. Memories may not be forever, but the marks they made shall always remain etched on our minds and hearts. I'll pray for you as you do everyday in front of the fire.
