Motoki has gone from this world. Minako still loves him, and she partly blames herself for his death. These are her last thoughts before she joins him in eternal sleep.

***********************************************************************
Motoki. It's been a full year since you died. Even now, your name brings shivers down my back. I know you are long gone from this world, and for that, I am sorrowful. You were everything to me. My heart and soul. My heart ached without being able to express my love for you. When you were here, my love doubled for you, everyday. I was afraid that one day my heart would be too small to hold all the love I had for you, dear Motoki. Motoki, where are you now? Do you think of me now that I'm no long beside you every step of the day?

Everyone thought how I had always followed you was yet another one of my school girl crushes, but you were different. You were the real thing. I loved you for being you. Sometimes, I would pat your pretty head like you were a puppy. In reality, I was the foolish puppy, eager to do anything that would've pleased you. Anything that brought a sweet smile onto your face made my heart ache with such happiness.

Motoki, you have been wrenched from me. Although Crystal Tokyo is beautiful, it can never compare to having Motoki here with me. Motoki, why did you have to leave me? Now, I have to cope with this world all by myself. I need you help me get through each day. You were my hope that everyday would have a silver lining. Without you, my heart is broken, and life is so hard to keep a grasp on. I needed your enthusiasm on life to help me.

I would have done anything for you, and you did know that in the bottom of your heart. The pureness of your heart kept me alive, and without you, each day is filled with cloudy skies. I could only wish there was some way you would come back to me. You were my love, my one true love. It was destiny for us to be together, but now we are apart. Fate hasn't made that decision, but your love for me alone.

You shouldn't have followed me when I answered my communicator. You were worried for my well-bring, but I couldn't really tell you that I was Sailor V. Yes, I am the character that I so enjoy playing. You would think me nuts, and probably drop me on the spot. I couldn't have that happen. You were my heart and soul, without you, my life wouldn't be worth living. You followed me, and got in the way. The youma shot you with a cackling attack. I loved you for being so caring about me. Your last words will forever have a place in my heart, "Tell Mina I love her. She's my heart…"

Killing that youma and several others with a critical Venus Love-Me Chain didn't take away the pain. Nor did it give me the usual satisfaction that it normally did. That hateful youma took you away from me. It's been a full year, but instead of the pain subsiding, it multiplies. Here, we're living in a wonderful place, but life will never be the safe, those days when you were here, by my side.

I've made up my mind. I can't take it anymore. Since you can't be here, with me, I'm going to join you. Death can't be too hard to accomplish, they welcomed you quickly enough, so why not me? Don't worry, dear Motoki, soon I'll be by your side…
