[Even as she prefaces it with that, he seems to get exactly why she wasn't present much. He doesn't interrupt as he takes in the last piece of the story.
Sailor Starlights. The fact that there are other Sailor Senshi that weren't the ones working for the the queen of the moon is ominous in and of itself. It screams "impostors!" and it makes him vaguely uncomfortable to know that there were people capable of stealing whole identities somehow. Powers. Things that couldn't be predicted.
But no. Somehow it gets worse and he has to wonder why. Why do these things happen to good people who're destined to fight and save the world? (He knows the answer. It's how things go. Those bound to protect are the ones who're targeted. It still isn't a good feeling.)]
Galaxia. [He repeats the name slowly. It's under his breath, too, so that Rei can continue telling the story and it…worries him to think that someone like Galaxia could be brought to Tellus. If someone could crush five of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, how did other people stand a chance? They didn't. It makes him want to ask more questions and learn more but…it's not the time.]
So…the Cauldron's basically the center of the universe and because Sailor Moon stopped Galaxia everyone was able to have their life restemmed from the Cauldron and start again. And there hasn't been anything since then? Everything went back to…well, whatever normal is for a Sailor Senshi.
[There's a tentative grin.] And then you woke up here. …is it bad to say that at least everything helped prepare you at least a little for the things here? [Not everything. Nothing could fully prepare them for Cerealia, but some are more equip than others. He knows Rei is. He believes he is, too, in some cases.]
aaaah Im sorry this is so late
