[Rei nods slowly, her arm moving up to wrap around Fenimore's shoulder. She's taking advantage of the shock to hopefully move things away from Fenimore getting angry to trying to make this into something good. There's no point in fighting over it, especially not when there's some commonality there. It doesn't stop the hurt, and it doesn't stop the fact that she's worried that Fenimore might just start snapping anyway. But she guesses that it may be the best way to deal with and diffuse the situation.]

Yes. At home, when I arrived in Luceti, I was in the middle of a battle. And I died. Look at my first journal broadcast, if you want.

[She bows her head slightly, and looks away.]

I...I know in the end that my friends and I win, and I...reincarnate. Ami-chan and Usagi-chan told me I do, but when I arrived here, I was dead. And I don't know if they're lying to me...or if they're telling me the truth.

[She presses one hand against her chest, trying to suppress a choking cough of sadness at the knot suddenly forming in her throat.]

So yes. I do know what it's like, Fenimore.
