She hadn't been here since before the world froze.

Usagi (no, Serenity, now) wanted to rebuild. Rei wasn't sure how she felt about that. Part of her wanted her home back desperately. Another part – angry, she noted — said they'd long abandoned the past.

Mako would point out that Rei was here, wasn't she? Rei hated it when Mako noticed that stuff.

She no longer recognized it. This place where she'd lived. This place where they'd died. It was a crystal hill in a crystal city, and as far as Rei was concerned, that's now all it would ever be.
