But it could endanger Rei, and that idea terrified Usagi.
"It's not that I think you will break, but it's phrasing like 'I'll have to go back eventually.' I don't... want to say something and make you think 'oh how much better it would be to stay here,' that's what scares me."
She couldn't look Rei in the eye, because then Rei would realize how scared Usagi was that this world of fame and fortune and most of all, family, would be the place to stay. That Usagi would be the one to rip that all apart. How many times would Usagi have to see a loved one get twisted and turned into something they weren't?
Would she ever be strong enough to protect them all properly?
"But... your mother, your real mother, she passed away. You wear a pendant that she gave you at all times. You live with your grandfather at the shrine, he loves you very much and doesn't see any issue with you inheriting the shrine. Then... then there's your father. You... don't like talking about him much, you barely acknowledge him if you can. He's very wealthy, a politician too, but you don't depend on him at all except to pay for your education."
