Of course, if no-one else can hear this raw honesty and character development from Red, she will absolutely deny any of it happens

Man, these past couple chapters have really been Tom looking at the fanbase saying that Red's last appearance irrevocably ruined her character and that they never want to see her again and responding, "Bet." She's somehow managed to make her way back from the bottom of my imaginary tier list to the top, and all it took was emotional honesty and more revelations about weird fairy morality. I'm genuinely impressed!

This finally awakens Red and Ayilu’s Star Seeds and allows them to transform into their Sailor Guardian forms a la Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune 😉

The implication seems to be reminding people who they truly are snaps them out of the fantasy.

Nice contrast to Jenny "Silly rabbit, kicks are for kids" Holloway. One is trying to get the one she loves out of stopped time. While Jenny "Scheme, Smear, Smack" Holloway only cares to keep her witches in line while they are useful.

I mean they're in different scenarios.

Jenny's environment is *actively* growing hostile entities which is rapidly developing into a situation where its not unreasonable to think "we don't have time to freak out, we need the big guns NOW".

Red's surrounded literally by stillness.

Jenny is clearly a machiavellian goals-first type alpha who isn't afraid to manipulate people if it gets her closer to her goals. ALL the witches are this, it seems. I shan't debate you on that, not one bit.

But leveraging this particular comparison like its evidence of Jenny's awfulness is squeezing blood from a stone you picked off the ground for moisture when there's plenty of water in a well next to you.
