Mamoru span round to confront Lady Cosmos- but to his horror he saw that she had vanished.
Usagi's eyes filled with confused tears.
"W-wha?" she stammered staring round the room. Her eyes landed on Mamoru and Seiya who were looking at her with shocked expressions.
"Usa-ko, thank God!" Mamoru enveloped her into a hug. Usagi pulled away quickly.
"Mamo-chan. Seiya. Where is everyone else?"
Her eyes landed on Mercury's still form.
"Oh god no!" she knelt beside her friend, sobbing. "Please no!" a sudden realisation dawned on her and she stared round the room. "Are the others all….?"
Seiya nodded slowly.
Usagi started sobbing hysterically, clutching Mercury's body to her chest and rocking back and forth.
"Usagi…"
"Tell me when."
"What?"
"Who killed them?" Usagi's voice sounded choked with tears but firm.
"It doesn't matter who killed them does it? I mean…."
"Who killed them?!"
Seiya looked at Mamoru, who nodded. "You did Usagi!"
Usagi stared at Seiya in horror. She shook her head slowly.
"No- I didn't!" she stared in horror.
"Usagi…"
"Stop lying!" she screamed. "I didn't kill them! I would know!" she fell to her knees still sobbing hysterically. "I would know!"
"Usagi…you didn't know what you were doing!"
Still Usagi shook her head. "No. it's not true. Mamo-chan tell Seiya to stop lying!"
She looked to her boyfriend for help, but he kept his eyes firmly fixed to the floor as a tear rolled slowly down his face.
"Mamo-chan…?"
Usagi looked to him for help.
"Please Mamo-chan!"
He looked up slowly, dreading what he was about to say to her.
"I'm sorry…"
