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.              --       Phoenix       www.phoenixanime.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
