- Minako still becomes a soldier first. One monster encounter, and Venus opens up the memory well. She will not watch her princess die again.
- She takes up the mission of finding her fellow soldiers– Mars first, because if there’s going to be just two, they’re a matched pair. Then Ami, to run intel, and then Mako
- There is no Sailor Moon in this version, at least not right away, Minako’s goal is to keep the princess from awakening. That, in her view, is the happy ending– an ordinary life, free from the burdens of the past
- When Tuxedo Mask shows up, she has two conflicting instincts:
1. The princess wished for a second chance at a happy life with him
2. He’ll lead to the princess’s destruction, just like last time
- She ultimately tries to cut a deal with Beryl– her beloved prince for peace
- Beryl laughs, because it was never just about the prince
- Serenity awakens, not because Endymion is struck down, but because Venus is
- Usagi wakes screaming, her pajamas replaced by a flowing white dress, mourning a friend she didn’t even get to meet in this life
-
(She is connected to her soldiers by design, Queen Serenity needed her
daughter to know when her protectors failed, when she need to run)
- The fight is the same, but also different– Usagi comes to Beryl without the bonds of this life’s friendship, but she demands the chance for them, her soldiers fall one by one but she will not let them stay down, she will not let Beryl win, she will get the chance she wants and they will all live on togetherr
- After, when everyone is back, Minako has to look Usagi in the eyes and admit all her choices. There is anger, and sadness, but most of all forgiveness, because they still have an opportunity now, they can go forward together
