[Rei laughs at that, both the compliment and the request tickling her a little bit.]
As I said, I can't shift forms in public, I prefer to keep my identity to myself to protect both myself and my friends should an enemy arrive from home. However, yes, I can show you a vision of my previous life.
[She holds out her hand and touches Naoto's.]
It's true. You'll have to trust your detective's intuition that I'm not lying when I say this, but I can't alter memory and I'll not do anything to harm you with this. I wouldn't, and this is safe.
[Naoto should get a sense of perfect sincerity. There's nothing in Rei that's untrue, and she's not a great liar even when she wants to be.
If she doesn't pull away from Rei's hand, she'll receive a vision of several things from Rei's perspective. Phobos and Deimos Castle on Mars, the halls of the Moon Palace in the Sea of Serenity, and perhaps most importantly a speech from Queen Serenity proclaiming the Princesses of the Inner Planets as the royal guard to her daughter and giving them their titles. The Goddesses of Wisdom, Love, War, and Protection. The sense of it all is very grand, very...ancient, and very solid and real. After that, it fades into more ephemeral things, battles mostly, displays of power and strength, feats on ancient battlefields and heroics in a modern day Japanese city after dark.

That's my proof. Memories, freely given.
