   I agree. But to me, what the second translation says is that same   
   sentiment and something more. What the second translation says to me   
   is not only that no one is Usagi's rival, but it also says to FE to   
   feel free to keep trying because Usagi knows that no matter how much   
   FE tries, no matter how much anyone tries, Mamoru will still never   
   leave her.
