[Through all of that, Rei remains just as silent, her slightly amused smile fading into something much more serious. She squeezes back, reassuring, and now she finally scoots just a fraction closer, so her shoulder is touching Fenimore’s. She’d rather provide some sense of solidarity. A part of what Fenimore says rings fairly true with Rei as well, with her feelings about men…but Luceti had been a catalyst for change.
And by the sounds of it, it had for her girlfriend too. And that means, at least to her, that it’s a worthwhile place. Yes the experiments are awful…but…]
Well, I know now, yes. And you know that to me, you being a different kind of person is so not even close to making me think less of you. I’m…not even technically human myself, in a lot of ways, so really I just think it makes us a bit closer.. So, you never, ever have to worry about that. With me, or Ami-chan or Minako-chan. I promise that. And I also promise that if the Malnosso send any droids to try and take you away? I’ll fight to protect you. I know it might not sound like much, but I’ve fought off the droids once, when they came for Usagi-chan a long time ago, so it can be done.
[She pauses, letting that sink in. And then, the shoujo speech comes out, Rei’s voice full of conviction and strength.]
And…you know that I really…can’t fault you for hating people. After that. I have some mental scars of my own. But I’m getting over them. Luceti, and being around you and other people has helped me move past that. So, I hope that you’ll let me help you start to at least come to terms with that. Because I love you, I love you so much…and I don’t think you’re anything less than beautiful.
