keyofnik: Then there’s this. Where Rei’s saying thanks, in the most understated Rei Way possible, and Usagi’s saying no problem and meaning it completely because she has absolutely no idea what her being here right now means. And then STILL BEING STUCK ON THE DAMNED DAIFUKU. Because Usagi came here with a very clear plan. 1. Give Rei yummy food. 2. Rei eats yummy food. 3. Rei is my friend again. That by simply showing up she’s jumped immediately to Step 3 doesn’t even cross her mind. What’s so marvelous about all of this is that Usagi is fixing everything, she’s winning Rei over fully and completely until the day Rei dies (AND BEYOND), by no more and no less than simply being herself. This whole daifuku thing is hilarious and ridiculous and, both directly and indirectly, possibly the purest expression of Usagi that I have ever seen.
