[Rei's expression is calm.]

Does anyone here have any experience in building machines?

[Relationship problems? Rei doesn't have those. So don't ask.]

[No; if a man loves Rei, he needs to trust her to the end. That's always been so important to her, and that's why Usagi feels so keenly for Rei over the situation.]

What do you want to do?

Whatever I have to do, I guess.

[She doesn't really know. She's not... angry anymore, now that she has that off of her chest, but Rei doesn't know what to do beyond that.]

You guys can make up, if you try hard to.

... I'm not going to stop being Toushirou's friend.

[That is a bottom line she refuses to give up.]

If it bothers him that badly, then I can't --

[Ugh, she doesn't want to say it, but she just. Can't.]

[The truth is, she admires that resolve. She knows she lacks it herself - if the situation happened with Mamoru, Usagi is the type who'd take the blame on herself and apologize and probably stop seeing that friend.

And she shouldn't be.]

Rei-chan, are you serious about that?

[... oh, he's going to kill her.

Rei closes her eyes to exhale slowly.]

...Toushirou told me, when I found him after the event was over... that I was a woman of the highest caliber and to never let anyone tell me anything different. Not even him.

And he's right.

He is right. But Rei-chan, that doesn't mean you and Cloud can't come to understand each other again, either.

If he can't trust me around Toushirou, Usagi, then he doesn't understand me.

I guess that's true, too.

[Because not to trust Rei or to call her disloyal is to not understand who she is, that endless loyalty as strong as Usagi's endless love.]

But Rei-chan! It's... it's still because of his memories. He doesn't remember. He's been told you're his girlfriend, but he has to know you again! Like I did with Mamo-chan.

I've been trying.

[And she has, with endless effort.]

I know, Rei-chan. And it's hard. But, hang in a little longer? Until he can remember? Then you guys can figure things out.

... fine.

[She can do that much.

But she's totally serious about her expectations regarding Hitsugaya. She stoutly refuses to drop him over something so incredibly ridiculous.]

Thanks.

[She's quiet for a long moment.]

-- you don't have anything to thank me for.

But I'm glad you're giving it that chance.

I give a lot of chances.

[This was just a very serious line to be crossed.]

I know. But one more isn't bad.

Sometimes it can be, if it doesn't change.

But once he remembers, he'll know.

I hope so.

I'm sure of it.

You always are.

And I'm always, always right.

I wouldn't go that far.

But it's true.
