   But the reactions of the other people only make sense if her decision -   
   to kill off Sailor V - would actually make a difference; they were   
   certainly behaving as if, since she had been given the job of animating   
   the final part, her decision would indeed have an effect.   
      
   (I'd like to quote actual dialogue in support of this, but it's been   
   quite some time since I watched the episode, and I don't believe either   
   of my copies is in a readily accessible location.)   
      
   Certainly it is an example of how her personality had changed, but I   
   don't think that can be all it is.
