I. LOVE. THIS. In the end, the moral isn’t that you are special, it’s that you are ordinary. “I hope you experience an average human life” sounds like such a strange wish to make, but to Serenity it’s the second chance at childhood that her daughter never got. 

Important things about this group hug: 

-Ami and Mako holding hands with each other on Usagi’s shoulder (sneaky)

-Minako grabbing Mako’s ass (can’t blame her) 

-Rei holding tight to Usagi with both hands so she doesn’t dare leave her sight again (time for crying)

Usagi: my friends are always with me… in my heart

Rei: FUCKIN GROSS I DON’T WANT TO BE IN YOUR HEART THERE’S ALL BLOOD AND STUFF THERE I’D RATHER BE OUT HERE WHERE I CAN KICK YOUR ASS IN PERSON YOU FROSTED ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Usagi: My friends are dead and their blood is on my hands.

Mamoru: Uhhhhhh Usagi they’re right here

Usagi: Yes, I feel that way too, They are always with me.

Mamoru: Like all four of them are alive

Usagi: Yes… they’re alive as long as we preserve them in our memory

the experience of a fool: a play in three acts

act 1: ah Endymion is holding his cape in front of Usagi, I an astute theatregoer recognize that she will use this opportunity to change into Princess Serenity

act 2: alas, her outfit changed not? what an odd creative choice

act 3: ASDJFLKDSJFL; HOLY FUCK HOW DID THAT FLY WIRE GET THERE

get you a girl squad who will empower you from beyond the grave

and THAT’S why you always carry around a huge perfectly-cut gemstone in your battle armor. STREET SMARTS!
