The scene in Stars when Usagi confesses to Rei that Mamo has not written to her or called her since leaving is poignant but also... amusing. When Usagi tells Rei that she has had no contact with her boyfriend since he left, Rei cries out: "Why didn't you tell someone? It doesn't make any sense!" It's like the writers are admitting that the story doesn't make any sense, and they're right! It is beyond belief Usagi would have kept this information as a secret. This is extremely out of character for Usagi. She is not a person who is shy about expressing her emotions! She would have at the very least told Luna or Rei.
Wow. I love this take! I always thought it was odd that she didn't say anything, but I figured it was because she was trying to be emotionally mature and deal with things on her own. I do like how Rei points out how uncharacteristic this behavior is though.
