She was a rainbow. More so than in any other incarnation, Aino Minako was truly a vision. She effortlessly blended the persona of goddess with that of high school student and warrior. As he watched her he realized that he had never loved her more than in this form. In this form, she was absolutely stunning.

And he would never be able to tell her so. While his previous incarnations could frolic freely with her, in this form, he was destined to be forever the traitor - the betrayer - the enemy. And if the thought lingered for too long, he knew his heart would shatter like so much glass, fragile pieces in brilliant colors reflecting the shimmering light of his unreachable star.
