[Usagi, who's often said the same, that the serious times make the fun times and special times even more important, has found a kindred spirit.

Then she realizes there's something about the face on the video. She tilts her head, stares rudely, tilts her head again, and then- the light seems to dawn finally as she recognizes that it's Lily and her face lights up. She hardly knows which to say first.]

Ah- Ah!

I'm Usagi. You really don't remember before? No, I guess not. I met you because you were Harry's mama. I met him here.

[Video] <3 It's okay!

I wasn't aware that I had been here before. {No one has really talked to her about that.} You're right, though. Harry is my not so little son. Are you a friend of his?
