Yuki’s eyes widened after May finished saying Rei was suspiciously trying to force his emotions. Yuki wasn’t that surprised, though. She did train May to use her eyes and wits more often, but she didn’t expect May to figure it out so quickly.
Yuki struggled to speak, and May was waiting impatiently, waiting for Yuki to respond to her observations.
“So um…how do I put it like this… Rei… doesn't care about me…or you… He went to the war, he got injured and was forced to turn into a cyborg… he went to see his friend, but in reality, he went to a scientist's house so he could get even stronger. He never cared about family ever since he turned into a cyborg.”
May’s heart dropped and shattered when she heard this information. She couldn't believe it, ever. Was she right? May thought Yuki was lying, joking, or just playing with her.
“Ha ha…, big sis… you…you can stop joking around now…just drop the act… please?” May laughed a sad laugh, she smiled nervously, but it was clearly obvious that she was heartbroken. But when May saw the serious (and nervous) look on Yuki’s face, she dropped her smile… and a tear fell from her eye.
There's… no freaking way… I thought Rei always loved me, but he was lying? That was what May thought.
Then she finally broke. Tears fell to her eyes and onto her cheeks, then the tears fell onto the ground. May fell on her knees and cried, but Yuki was there to comfort her. Yuki hugged May and patted her back, trying to make her calm down.
After an hour, May fell asleep, so Yuki lifted her and put her to bed, covering her with a blanket, and stayed beside her. Caressing her cheeks and gently brushing her hair with her fingers. May tightly gripped her stuffed plushies, which Yuki bought for her a while back when she was acting like a spoiled brat.
But now, May's spoiled brat persona was completely shattered by Yuki revealing the truth.
Yuki started to feel tired as well, so she slept right next to May. May unconsciously hugged Yuki in her sleep, still sniveling a little, and is scared to be alone now. Yuki hugged May back and, at the same time, patted her head and back.
"I'll always be here for you, May, because I'm your big sister now."

Three hours later:
Me and Ai I were on the plane. I was at the window seat, and Ai was sitting in the middle between me and another person. I was looking out the window, not watching any movies on the screen in front of me. I wasn’t interested in movies anymore, even though I loved watching movies when I was a little kid.
I was looking at the clouds, lost in my mind, when I saw a cloud that looked like a happy family. If I were still a human, I would’ve probably felt…happy? What was that emotion again? I forgot, well, emotions are irrelevant to me anyway, no need to wonder about those anymore.
Then suddenly, a person stood up from the seat next to Ai.
“Stop! I'm gonna blow up this plane with me and kill every last one of you if you don’t stop this plane right now!” He yelled, grabbing Ai by the collar and lifting her up.
What’s with that guy? I thought.
Then I finally remembered.
I remember watching the news, they said a guy from prison escaped and was on their way to escape Japan, huh, was it him?
“Hey, stop making such a fuss on the plane; everyone is trying to mind their own personal business,” I called out to the bomber with a blank face. I saw two people standing up, all wearing the exact same clothes as the bomber; are they buddies?
They took two more people hostage as the female flight attendants called for security, but the bomber brought out a gun and shot at the roof.
“Stay right there! No moving or I’ll blow this girl’s head right off her body!” He pointed his gun at Ai’s head. When the guy shot, the female flight attendants stopped moving and looked at him and his friends in shock and fear.
“And you! Stop staring at me, you emotionless-looking dumbass! I’ll shoot you!” He yelled at me. I could see the veins on his forehead.
“Huh? Are you talking to me? I’m just staring, no big deal, man.” I said.
“Shut up! Stop staring at me! It’s annoying! I’ll give you a count of three to stop staring at me, or I’ll erase your head off your body! 1… 2…” He said as he started counting. I sighed and grabbed his gun.
“And a 3.” I used one of my weapons in my mechanical body. I didn’t have much time, so I chose a random one, a 1000 caliber gun traveling 5000 meters per second, blowing his head off, and making a massive hole in the roof of the plane.
The bullet created a massive shockwave that made the plane fail, and I… probably killed many passengers from the falling debris.
I made Chikou activate a force field to protect Ai from the falling debris. And before the dead guy’s friends could move, I blasted a 9 millimeter bullet at both their faces at the speed of 10,000 meters per second, which created two more craters.
I retracted my projectile weapons and hid them inside me. The plane was about to crash because of the giant hole I created, but I didn't bother to save them; that wasn't going to help me and Ai get the Synthetic Organo-Fluid.
I wrapped my left arm around Ai's waist and held on to her. I activated my flight ability and levitated above the crashing plane. I heard the flight attendants and pilots panicking about what to do, but I didn't bother.
“Chikou, how many more miles until we reach Canada?” I spoke to Chikou from my mind, all I could see was bright blue and the sky with white clouds, no islands, no land, just a big body of water.
“About 43 minutes, Rei."
"Got it."
“Hold on tight, Ai, I'm going to fly to Canada instead.”
“Wait, wh-” but before she could say anything, I readied up my jets.
Then, I flew to Canada, but not before creating a force field from the blue circles in the middle of my palms, usually for creating large-scale energy blasts, but I figured out how to create a fire damage-negating force field.
A normal person would die if they went 1000 kilometers per 10 minutes, so that’s why I created a force field for her. Then I flew towards the location of Canada, creating a massive sonic boom behind me.
Flying over 1000 kilometers in just 10 minutes, we landed in Toronto, Canada, in just 43 minutes. I let go of Ai, but she fell down. Looks like she could still black out from the speed we are going and how thin the air was up in the sky.
“Let’s walk to the Canadian government now. I need to conserve my energy just in case we get into a battle with armed Canadian soldiers.” I told the unconscious Ai. I carried her on my back and booked a hotel nearby.
