Yes, she'd given up, but what else could she do? Her body refused to move anymore, and she was exhausted. But through all of what she believed to be her final thoughts, a voice cut through them all. It was one that was familiar to her, yet at the same time she knew she shouldn't be hearing it. She lifted her head to see someone she should not be seeing. Her eyes went wide as she stared up at Minako as she knocked a demon out of the way.
All right, what was going on? Nothing of the world was making sense anymore. So Rei arrived at the decision that she was in the process of dying and was having a vision, or hallucination. Yes, that was it. The dead didn't simply come back to life spontaneously. Well, they didn't come back to life at all, so Rei came to the logical conclusion that she was about to die herself. Perhaps then she could be with her mother and Minako and be happy. If that was what was awaiting her, she wanted this dying process to hurry up. She didn't want to be in pain anymore. She was so tired. Everything had been in vain.
"The world is all ready gone, Minako. We failed. I failed. The Princess destroyed it and we couldn't stop her." Tears of regret and defeat stung her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. However, her voice wavered with the unexpressed emotions she was trying to keep herself from feeling. "Everything else is dead. I don't know what this place is, but I just wish it hurry up and send me to the afterlife because there's nothing left to fight for!" For once Rei didn't have fighting words in response to Minako. All she had was a broken will and a depleted body. "I can't fight anymore. I fought my way to the Princess and used everything I had. But it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough..."
So she was believing that Minako was little more than a figment of her imagination. And she must be in a state between life and death because she couldn't even really feel the pain in her body now. She didn't want anything more to do with this, and she just wanted it to be over. Hadn't they all suffered enough?
