Ami heard Usagi's feelings of disappointment in her voice and quickly sought to reassure her, knowing how seriously she took her role as the leader of the senshi. "It sounds like everyone's powers or weapons have been taken," Ami said comfortingly. "So we'll just have to make do without being able to transform. I know you asked me before if everything was...normal...back home. We didn't get a chance to talk about it before, but by any chance do you remember Queen Nehelenia?"

This was the big question. Was this Usagi the best friend Ami knew, or a stranger from a different world?
