Where is Endymion?
There's a smell of ash in the air, though there is no crackling of fires or snap of flames. Nothing seems damaged, there is only the reminder carried on the wind. A hush pervades everything, quietly forbidding, mysterious.
At the top of a long set of marble stairs, there is a castle with sculpted columns and domed roofs, a symbol of wealth and luxury - and permanence. It sits against the backdrop of a darkened night sky, where even the stars seem dim and sparse.
Amid all this, at the top of the steps, a girl wearing a sailor uniform trimmed with lace and satin and pearls sits and stares into space as though oblivious to the muted atmosphere or anyone approaching; her face is utterly still. A tiara crowns her blond hair, worn in the signature style of the Silver Millenium royal dynasty.
The princess plays a small lap harp, the only notable sound. Her tune is gentle, but lonely and yearning, a constant ache for a past long gone. A close look reveals that the harp bears the sigil of Mercury.

"Um. Mamo-- I mean... Endymion... he's not here right now," was the only response she could come up with. "He's... gone for awhile. To study abroad." Another pause. "... In America."

"That cannot be," says the princess. "The people of Earth do not so easily travel to other planets. Endymion cannot be among the stars."
This is a rather drastic misunderstanding of precisely where 'America' might be.

If 'sad' was even the right word...
no subject
What fate she might mean precisely is left unspecified, but it must mean separation at the very least. And if he is taken from her, she knows her own heart enough to know the outcome will be the same.
Usagi will be the same.

Usagi shook her head, "I don't understand. There's a happy future waiting for us. One we're all going to reach together..." so why -- were her own words sounding so distant? Why were they not easy to believe this time? She'd seen it... the world that was to come... Hadn't she?
no subject
"There is no happy future," she intones, "without Endymion." And perhaps there is no future where fate will allow them to be together.

"Are you certain?" she asks, with a dreadful calm that does nothing to erase the hard glint in her expression.

"What happened to Endymion then?" she prompts.
