[ Usagi can't seem to stop the tears that are falling down her cheeks the longer she stares at this broken and destroyed town.
She's frightened. She's confused. She knows this scene even though she's never been here before. She's her but not her and she's afraid that if she's here for any longer then she might not be the person she had been walking into this dream. Maybe if she shut her eyes and tried willing herself to wake up, that would work. ]
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
[ Blue eyes are clenched tightly, just as her hands are clutched tightly around the staff that's in her -- wait. Usagi's eyes open as she looks down at the pearl white staff in her possession. Where did this come from? Had she been holding it this whole time?
But, she can feel the material in her gloved hands. It's pearl white with wings that cradle a crowned heart like an item of nobility would have in the fairy tale books that her Mama used to read her to bed. It's warm and worn but she knows it -- it's a part of this other her that her brain has come up with, because she still hasn't accepted that this is anything but a product of her imagination. She's felt this before though -- this feeling of dejavu and it's hard not to believe that this was something real.
Her examination of the staff is interrupted, however, once a flash of red makes its way into the corner of her eye and she turns her watery gaze to where Rei, but not Rei, is. She looks familiar. She is familiar. She's known her for years and she can feel it in the deepest parts of her soul that there was a bond that could not be broken. She might look different, hold herself like someone who's done more battles than anyone ever should, but Usagi knows.. ]
.... Rei... chan?
[ Suddenly, that fear of this world becomes all encompassing, and it forces her feet to start moving quickly towards the fire priestess with such speed that she never knew she really had. Usagi needed someone. She needed someone to help her focus so she wouldn't be as scared. She runs because once she can cling to someone, maybe this nightmare won't be so bad. ]
