PLEASE TELL MORE ABOUT THAT
Okay I haven’t COMPLETELY thought this out, but basically, I think if there was ever another situation where Saturn would have to destroy the world, Michiru would have visions of it long before hand, and consider it her personal job to prevent it.
And then if it happened anyway (and Usagi is unable to fix it), she considers it a failure, as there are three outcomes she sees:
1. They let Saturn do her job, the world ends, Haruka and everyone else dies.
2.Haruka, being Haruka, fights Hotaru to save the world, convinced they can rebuild, and either dies, reverting back to option one, or ends up killing Hotaru, which at the end of the day Michiru knows Haruka can’t live with.
3.Michiru kills Hotaru to save Haruka and the world, regardless of what state it’s in. While Haruka would understand, maybe even think it was the right choice, she’d also have deep doubts that would so easily grow into resentment.
So Michiru would be fighting so hard to not let them reach that point, but she can’t stop it. I like the idea of it just being the three of them in the end, Haruka unwilling to let the civilians die with the world’s end no matter how much they might suffer, Hotaru seeing that the world’s end is inevitable and knowing at least she can offer rebirth, and Michiru unable to argue with either, because it’s all her fault that they’re here.
