Although traveling was dangerous, Setsuna felt Trisha would be safer at the Door of Space-Time. "Mom, while I won't deny I would presumably be safer there, I have previously arranged to use Alexis's Deep Aqua Crystal Mirror to divulge where Charlotte is hiding. It wouldn't be right of me to leave the team now. Also, oddly, I'm enjoying learning about each of my friends' shortcomings." Trisha clarified.

"You are a dedicated teammate and an excellent companion. But you don't need to be so daring, my daughter." Setsuna put an assuring hand on the dark brunette-haired girl's shoulder.

"I don't want to feel like I'm escaping my problems. I must safeguard my princess! Even if I have to die at the hands of my counterpart to do so, I will welcome that fate." Trisha vowed.

"I hope it never comes to that," Setsuna replied sadly. The green-haired woman recalled the horrified sorrowful look Black Lady had in her eyes when she perished to save her. Consequently, Setsuna would feel the same way if Trisha passed.

Despite the dark red-eyed soldier's earlier explanation, Trisha did not want to go to the Space-Time Door because she has Autophobia/Monophobia or, in the lamest terms, the fear of being alone. Much like Sailor Pluto, Trisha loathed the misty, lonely, and endless nothingness of Space-Time. Trisha knew her destiny was to guard it if she was not combating wickedness with her friends. Yet she would much rather spend her free time being free! Later, Trisha strode down the corridor leading to the gates of Space-Time, thinking, "A lot of good this gate did, preventing the Black Moon Clan from traveling through time...oh, wait...if it couldn't stop them, why is it so crucial to guard it?!"

"What could you be doing here?" A woman, who looked like Setsuna, but with gray skin and darker eyes stood behind Trisha.

"I could be asking you the same question, but we have nothing else to discuss. Furthermore, I do not want to waste my breath over small talk." Trisha knew this was her counterpart, but she had no interest in humoring it.

"That's not how the leader of the Outer Senshi should act." Alternate Trisha crosses her arms, looking disgruntled.

"I never assumed any official leadership role. I prefer to work with the Outer Senshi." Trisha rebutted.

"Why don't you work with the Inners? Aren't they your friends?" Alternate Trisha pointed out.

"Of course they are!" Trisha tries to keep the bite out of her voice.

"You THINK they are, but how can you be sure? It seems odd that Neo-Queen Serenity would choose ONLY you to guard the Space-Time Door with no one else around for months?"

"It was the same with my mother. I am reliable, wise, vigilant, protective, and fierce enough to guard the gates!" Trisha stated proudly.

"So, you'll do whatever has to be done?" Alternate Trisha played with her hair.

"Yes," Trisha said with conviction.

"Even if it means isolation?"

Trisha paled, "I may not agree, but if the queen wishes, I will obey."

"It's going to happen. No one is faithful to you. No one is trustworthy to you. No one is going to protect you. That is the destiny of Sailor Pluto and her descendants. You'll be isolated eternally!" Alternate Trisha almost made her original cry, but there is something actual Trisha realized.

"Why are you here then?" Trisha demanded.

"What?"

"If you believe that is my destiny and your mission is to take my place, it would become YOUR destiny."

For a minute, neither girl spoke.

"I...I..."

"Told you we have nothing further to discuss. Now that you are finished needling me...DEAD WHISPER!" This is the first time Trisha called out this attack loudly.

Trisha's dark red eyes remained calm and stoic as she watched her doppelganger's demise! After, Trisha trekked back, feeling a bit of dread weighing on her mind and heart from what her counterpart had said. Unexpectedly, Christen burst out of her room with Ariel, Holly, Alexis, Emily, and Shadow. Chibiusa, Gracie, Jewel, Star, Ivy, and Dawn are in hot pursuit, but they all laugh.

"Trisha, we need you to hide! Chibiusa already chose enough seekers!" Ariel shouted.

While the brunette wished they had considered asking her before deciding to play this game, she smiled, relieved. Her friends are just as loyal, trustworthy, wise, and protective of her as she was of them, even when playing pretend. Trisha did not have to ever worry about being lonely with them around. Options are limited in where to hide as the soldier of time is tall. Well, where better than the last place anyone would look? Space-Time!

It was not her favorite place, far from it, but she knew it better than anyone, and the fog could hide her forever. Trisha is the undefeated hide-and-seek champion!
