I love to read this fic from time to time. It really humanizes Setsuna a lot, she has responsibilities and she really tries to uphold them, but when the possibility of her only happiness would be snatched away, she had to speak.

I kind of feel bad about Mamoru, he wanted to change the course slightly but he sacrificed the chance for Setsuna's sake. I really enjoyed this.

Note-THE LAST FEW REVIEWS CONTAINED STORY SPOILERS SO BEWARE IF U HAVE NOT READ IT YET-

and please forgive me, and don't curse me for writing so much. I think I already jinxed myself by breaking my word 500 times. I don't regret it tho because if I love something then I love it, what can ya do? now I know how it works better so u live and u learn. thanks for ur patience and feel free to delete most of these messages so it's not all ppl see wen they check ur reviews. promise I wont get offended :)

I promise if I think of something else, I will write it down and send it to u privately one day. I don't kno if u'll evr check tho because u haven't updated ur page in forever :( don't worry, no more review-overload because I realized after checking a few review pages, I don't think reviewing like I am doing is normal. sorry it took a while to figure that out. This Fandom world is bloody intense and im trying to figure everything out as I go along. thanks4everything again segnora!

Yes, I had a hard time thinking of this throughout the day. I was deeply touched and kinda hated this version of NeoQueen in ur story. How is it that she let Setsuna live in isolation like that and didn't tell any one else of her existence after all they went thru together in the past? that's exactly what the original Queen S did and I always had an issue with that, but in this case, Neo-Queen was actually good frds wit Setsuna so that's messed up. why was it that her daughter had to find her, and her This story really has tugged on my heartstrings but thankfully so because I have a lot goin on and this consumed my thoughts for almost an entire day when I wasn't busy with family. Thanks again. I knew I said I wouldn't review again but I wanted u 2 know that I was beyond touched. PPL-U NEED TO READ THIS STORY! BE WARNED: IT IS ALL-CONSUMING AS U READ AND AFTER YOU ARE DONE!
Again, wonderful masterpiece! One of my first favorite authors without a doubt. Thanks again for the experience. Hopefully u write again when u r inspired 2 do so. ur fans will b waiting :) Ciao

AND I AM VERY SORRY AGAIN. I PROMISE NOT TO GET OFFENDED IF U DECIDE TO DELETE ALL THIS CRAZINESS BECAUSE I HAVE JUST COME TO REALIZE I HAVE TAKEN A FULL PAGE ON UR REVIEWS! ( I hope I can get the hang of this soon - sigh - ) SRY SRY SRY SRY! I really did have one last question...technically Mamoru didn't actually break up with her in this ficlet right? He was just being misunderstood by her, or she was understanding him right...? O-K - I - A-M - D-O-N-E-Z-O! Again, sorry for being a Fandom newbie who seems to be a little too into it (sorry it's so exciting!). Thanks again for everything! I have been asking everyone to pray for release dates for Crystal Arc 4 (they are supposed to be 2 movie, not a full series - sigh - ), so please do so as well! Fabulous author and Fruits Basket it is (Promise not to review like I did jus now - I think the norm is one review per chapter or per few chapters...I researched after I realized I was the only one to leave ppl many reviews in a row. Much love, again, and best of luck in ur future writings! u r definitely going on my faves list when I make one! - MMM

but just a question, may I ask why he thought to himself "But things...had changed recently and even though he didn't want to, he had said the wrong thing, and she had taken it as exactly as it was meant to be taken, and the next thing he knew, there was fighting..."
But then he later told Setsuna, "You can think me a coward, or that I'm being selfish. But I know what's going on in my head-and when I tried to explain it all to Usako, she took it to mean that I didn't want to get married-ever. But that's not exactly what I meant...I just wanted to put it off for a few years, to see if maybe...if maybe the future won't happen."
I was just wondering if Usagi was right to take it as a break up like he initially thought, o was it just a misunderstanding and she was just assuming he wanted to break up when all he wanted was to end Crystal Tokyo? I was just wondering...the question popped in my head while I was in the shower. That was the only slight flaw I think was in ur story. initially I thought he absolutely wanted to marry her but dint want the titles that come with it, but I later remembered how he said earlier that Usagi "had taken it as exactly as it was meant to be taken". It kinda makes a difference in the story I think. Bope. I could b wrong. It's still an amazing story but that's all the more reason why I like to feel like I fully understood it, u kno what I mean? anyways im about to get cursed because I kept saying I was going to stop leaving reviews/comments after saying I will stop. May I get struck by lighting if I do again! My bad but I really am still getting the hang of this website and the hole Fandom thing. I will def make a profile eventually so I don't have to commicate like this and transform authors' review pages into a one-sided chatline like a psycho b*tch! I feel like Donald Trump getting all consumed with a story like a fiend! Sorry again, AND AMAZING STORY! You don't have to answer my question, but I hope u do say hi one day when I private message u to try and ask again. Yes, I am OCD when it comes to Sailor Moon, family, my yorkie, my friends, and my husband. Loved loved loved this story! Thanks for the great read and getting my mind off the sh*t I've been dealing with lately so God bless u and all the best, and I hope u get inspired to write again one...it's such wasted talent if u don't :( Have a wonderful weekend and T/C. Ciao bella!

LAST NOTE I SWEAR: I can actually picture Setsuna, Hotaru, Mamoru, and Ami working wonders in scientific development, research, healing technology, finding all kinds of cures, etc. U have seriously broadened my mind right now! Neo Queen seems like she'd do most of the Royal stuff, and for big events that she must attend with her husband, I can picture the both of them ditching (partially because Diana said they do it all the time :)). K I'll stop treating ur reviews forum like a chatroom and make a real account this weekend. Have a good weekend! All the best, wish u love and happiness, and happy writing, and all that good stuff for the umpteenth time! Ciao AlannaTorres

Also if it makes u feel better, Mamoru could have become a doctor before Crystal Tokyo age-wise :) He is actually 25 when they get married since Usagi is 21. and like Ami, I can see them both doing big things in research/healing/development in the future! Honestly, some of my comments are just to cheer u up in case u were a huge fan and u actually felt sad about these things. in ur writing, it truly feels like u spent a lot of time pondering about since ur words are so deep and almost intimate for the reader to read. so if it's any consolation for u, I think we are to assume that every one gets happy ending in Crystal Tokyo. The only reason why it aint the focus of comic/animation series is because Crystal Tokyo wasn't the focus, but from Small Lady's memories, and what Diana often says, as well as Neo-Queen letters, all the scouts are just as funky, and the monarchs are extremely in love, and Small Lady even mentions the way her mother is loved by her father and the ppl. so please don't be down! But I kinda like the stories u write when you're down, but please don't be down! Sorry for treating ur review board like a chatroom. I shoulda made an profile by now honestly but I have been nervous to do so as I am still a newbie to this whole Sailor Moon Fandom thing, otherwise I would have private messaged all this (I tried but it didn't work bcause I don't have an account). Gah this story still gives me goosebumps! EXCELLENT work of art again! WhyTF aren't more ppl reading it grrr! Lots of love and have a happy life, and happy writings! Ciao bella (I mean it this time -pinky swear-)!

SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO BE ALONE! WAHHHHHHH! Ok ok I'm done. More chips. more chips...
T/C AllanaT & thanks for the experience (and write again pls...)!

Or maybe she is not in love with him in ur ficlet, just emotional? Gawd, I'm going to be thinking about your fic all day! Bahumbag! I really don't know why more ppl haven't read this! This is one of the first I will favorite when I make an account! It's got all my feels going now, which is distressing but good because I needed to take my mind off things. Thanks again! Have a good one, and once again, please write some more AlannaT. Ciao!

Pleas come back and write again! It's been so long since u've written anything too! I forgot to mention that I loved the whole dynamic of when Mamoru was trying to explain to Setsuna about his whole argument with Usagi, and how Usagi misunderstood it to mean he didn't want to marry her at all, but he really just meant he wanted to put it off so they wouldn't have to be rulers. Also Setsuna's pain throughout their talk shone thru because as he jut wanted to get wasted in his misery over his second breakup with Usako, she was forcing herself to not tell him that she really loves him and that she too has so many dreams(but like I said, I actually believe that she'll make them come true). It's so sad! Please come back and write more! You can even continue this? Maybe a segment where they all got to continue living their dreams in Crystal Tokyo after all(after all, there was a whole Dream Arc, no? so I doubt Takeuchi-sama expected them to live as drab and lifeless corpes during Crystal Tokyo?)? No? KK, anything you'd write would be great! No? K, Just thought I'd try. Well thanks again for this beautiful piece of literature! It broke my heart, but it moved me

I wanted to point something out, when I said "after she was reincarnated", I mean after she died in the 30th century battle and the Neo Queen eventually resurrected her and sent her to earth. I wanted to clear that up JIC because the whole "reincarnated" thing happens pretty often in our beloved show. but yeah, Setsuna and all the other girls were so happe after Usagi rescued them in the comic, then they were all on cloud 9 at the wedding so I don't really think she ever went back. if she had to return to her post just because the Neo-Silve Millennium/Crystal Tokyo came around, then Haruka, and Michiru would no doubt have to be separated and placed at their original posts as well, no? Nuh-uh! Can't have that! Again, WONDERFUL STORY! THANK U FOR POSTING! Ciao

Note-THE LAST REVIEW CONTAINED STORY SPOILERS SO BEWARE IF U HAVE NOT READ IT YET-

On second thought, I kinda get it... he is still only in love with his Usako, but he doesn't want THAT future. I like to think that Ami would still get to be a doctor, Mina might not be a celebrity but she can get a few good years in, Rei would still meditate to her heart's content and she doesn't necessarily have to close down the shrine, and Makoto would still be able to plant and bake to her heart's content, and Setsuna didn't have to return to the Time Gates after she was reincarnated since she was even at their wedding in the manga ending signifying she never went back after Galaxia. I can't picture Takeuchi-sama intentionally expecting us to believe Crystal Tokyo is so crap...it would take away from the magic of Sailor Moon if we were meant to believe that. But I can see that HE may not want this future, even if he knew "I(he) came to terms with the fact that Usako and I(he) would always protect the Earth", and he "knew that I(he) loved Usako and that, eventually, we(they) were meant to get married", but I can see why "ruling the whole planet" thing can take a toll on, well, ANYONE! I guess maybe he thought/prayed he could marry her when she's 22 or 23 so Crystal Tokyo would be less likely, and they can still try to have Small Lady? It makes sense for him to want his cake and eat it too.
So sad for Setsuna though because she has so many inner demons, and u illustrated them vividly thru words, but at the end of the day, Mamoru was still kind/compassionate towards her, but he still wound up proving he didn't love her the way part of her wishes he would. It's so sad! Gawd you are a wonderful writer! I momentarily thought I'd cry but a popped some chips in my mouth instead. Again, fantastic job!
