[Rei despises men in general, for a number of reasons but not because they're perverted. Weak? Yes. Cowardly? Yes indeed. Mamoru Chiba had changed that idea though, and his influence had indelibly left a mark on her.]

That's a tall order to accomplish alone.

[Rei's hand squeezes tight and suffuses with heat in the face of that speech, a silent statement that at least one of the Sailor Senshi was behind her. They may be divided, but that didn't take away from what they'd do. And what the two of them...with Nonon and Minako and all the rest? Could accomplish as a group.]

Fortunately, you're not. [She looks over at Cliff.] Because I'm not giving up. I've already helped to topple two interstellar empires and a dark god. What's one more, huh?
