Haruka Tenoh has never known peace. After Sailor Moon defeated Galaxia and restored Michiru and Haruka's Star Seeds, Haruka is left with a budding sense of anxiety, a lack of self-worth, and an overwhelming feeling of uselessness. She's a Sailor Guardian without a purpose, and a quiet life with Michiru isn't at all what she dreamt it would be. But when a new enemy threatens to disrupt the peace, Haruka isn't sure she's prepared to rise to the challenge. She can't focus, can't fight, and can't close her eyes without remembering the shadows that swallowed her whole when Galaxia killed her and Michiru. . . . "I'm worried about you," she murmured. "You're distant." Haruka pressed a kiss to the back of Michiru's neck. "I know," she breathed. "I'm sorry."
