- 006 || eternity stares back.

Is it dark? Are you still awake? Where are you? Is this a dream?

All of these thoughts and more would flutter through your mind, caught on the thin wire between consciousness, and being trapped within the confines of your own imagination. In time, it slowly dissapates, burning away as the universe reveals itself. You might find yourself standing on a tall, icly pillar, gazing at the stars that seem forever locked in twilight. Or perhaps you're deeper, nearly drowning in a pool of water that seems to have an almost green tinge, wouldn't you agree? and just barely managing to float to the surface. Planets are out of line, the clouds are tricoloured and thick, but no matter what.

The stars remain.

This land is open, free. Shattered. There are absolutely no restrictions here, and the asteroids have already grasped the concept. They shift and crumble before you, just before drifting into the great abyss. You might see those you know, wandering the stars - some with a confused stagger, and others with defined purpose.

Look down.

One of the asteroids is misshapen.

And there is the faint outline of a man resting upon it, sitting as if in meditation.

The will of this world guides you towards it.

Don't talk as if you understand anything about it. I've accepted what's real.

This is my future. One day, I'll return to the galaxy cauldron to be reborn in my next incarnation. Don't think what scares a human is the same for me.

[She's slightly cold, in that arrogant way that looks down at him somehow despite being the shorter of the two.]

[In her world, only senshi have that assurance of a 'next time' and bear the burden of a 'past life'. She doesn't speak her fear that this is no longer true for her, that the corruption of her body when she gave it over to Metalia has stopped that. That she, and her comrades, could have a much worse fate.]

You intend for your spirit to leave this place and return to one of these worlds?

Or, do you intend to disappear?

[She, who's seen not just humans, but their kingdoms and civilizations rise and disappear, is unimpressed, though she doesn't take the step of mocking.]

We'll see, in the end.

There are existences that don't end. [Like hers. It's a double-edged sword, but she takes some pride in it - enough to seem to be arrogant still.]

Is that what you're saying will happen with you? [Her face is impassive, as if this doesn't matter very much, idle curiosity at best.]

Don't people usually wait to say things like 'I did my time' until they're free?

[She doesn't bother turning around. She never has - though she's alert, as always. He can show himself to her. He can come before her. A hand comes to rest at her hip.]

Had your fun with your dramatic entrance yet? [At that, there's the faintly amused lilt that often touches her voice.]

How kind to be concerned for me!

[Facetious in return for facetious, you better believe it. But a closer look would show a certain tension in her shoulders, a small twitch as she keeps herself from clenching her hand into a fist in the sudden shock of seeing the first Zack fall.]

If you keep assuming I'm like you, there's nothing for us to talk about. Don't lump me together with humans.

[Arrogance and superiority aside, she will never enter this place. Her existence is not even remotely like a human's - and even if the galaxy cauldron is similar, its workings also differ greatly.

And she has no intention of returning there until she's finished, either. It may be thousands of years.]

You're wrong. Even while waiting to be reborn, a human is a human.

[When Mizuno Ami finally dies - as she must, some day - Mercury will have a choice of her own. There will be a chance of starting over completely, with a new incarnation and a new planet, and a new history. There will also be the chance of simply staying inside the cauldron, and fading.

She will still be an immortal senshi. Existences don't change that easily.]


So what will you do? when you're reborn.

[The geostigma. It's crazy, but she's looked for solutions in her waking world. Of course, as the illness doesn't exist there, she hasn't found anything.]

You regret your involvement with them?
