   That makes sense to me, but I suppose she would need the Moon Stick   
   for MHE ;)

   I'm a big softie for sentimental endings but I wasn't particularly   
   moved by this conclusion either. It just seemed too pat, Ail and Ann,   
   particularly Ann, completely transformed their feelings too suddenly.   
   I don't think you are off-track in your own interpretation.   
      
   As to the explanation of the Moonlight Knight, The dub said that MK   
   was created to fight the Negaforce *gag* and also to protect Usagi,   
   but was not specific as to what created him. The ADV translation said   
   that MK was a creation of Mamoru's subconscious will due to his strong   
   love for Usagi and the need to protect her. However, Doi's summary   
   says that it was the ginzuishou that created MK. I like ADV's version   
   best, but I'm supposing that Doi would know the true story. Chris, can   
   you help me out here?
