Michiru,
      I don't know if you realize how much I admire you.  You're so talented, artistic, graceful, and able to give your whole life to your mission.   As much as I like Usagi (don't tell her I said that!) I don't know if I'll be able to sacrifice my life for hers.  Thank God that that decision has never come up yet.   Do you remember that day in the forest Nephlenia created?  I was so confused, and felt helpless (we all know that's a feeling I don't deal well with).  I suppose that we Inner Senshi are to kind.  I didn't want to shoot my arrow, for fear of hitting you. 

You insisted that I shoot, but I was uncertain of myself.  That is a trait I hate, one I try to rid myself of.  With your help, I proved to myself that I could do it.  
       I have heard to you referred to as the perfect senshi.  While your skill does surpass mine, I don't think you are perfect.  Working at the shrine has told me: being perfect is something that you never want to be, however striving to reach perfection is what you should do.  When you reach perfection, you can only go down.  This is true Michiru, you are not perfect.  But because you strive for perfection, others can find no faults with you...and neither can I.     ~Rei
