"You!" Lobelia growled at the sight of Hugo and his bloodthirsty angel. "You killed my friend!" Adrenaline rushed through her. All she could feel was endless sorrow at anger. The smell of her deceased friends blood. She wanted to murder them. She wanted revenge.

"Hmm? I merely did him a favor. He no longer has to suffer this ugly world." Hugo responded with a cocky tone. Prideful for the successful 'disposal' of his daughters friend.

"This world is only ugly because of you! You're a monster... You're a horrible, disgusting human and a dickhead of a father." The livid girl spat.

"That's right. You're a d-dickhead of a father!" Saki followed. It wasn't in her to use such vulgar words, which made her a little flustered. But that feeling soon left her as rage fled back into her blood. Hugo once again lifted his gun and pointed it at Lobelia. He looked absolutely pissed.

'We don't have anymore weapons' The female cyborg bit her lip. 'They all got left behind when we first came in contact with that bastard and his fucking killing machine. damn it.' She turned to look at Metanoia. ' And she can't fight for shit!'

"My daughter... called me a dickhead." Hugo's words trembled and crumbled like rocks from a cliff. He began to look hysterical. "You influenced her. You fucking rat... 72, you were quite popular for being a troublemaker, you know? It was always 71 who atoned for your misbehavior yet you claim to care about him? And grieve? Admit it,  You were using him to save yourself."

"Hugo, shut up. That's below the belt!"

"No... No, No, No! I never asked John to sacrifice his life for me, take all the punishments for me-"

"But you knew he'd take the punishments for you. Yet you kept doing it."

While the three had an extremely heated talk, Metanoia watched them as if trying to teach a child rocket science. She could not read between the lines, understand the conversation, she felt as if she was about to overheat. While Kismet who still stood with John's blood staining her clothes, had her eyes locked on the white haired android.

"Humans... They're interesting, aren't they?" The war angel asked, But Metanoia chose not to respond.

"If I was given a choice, to be human or a machine. I'd pick human. Indeed the whole point of my existence was to destroy the rest of humanity, but I myself was created by a human. And just as it is truly interesting to learn about human nature, I believe it would be far more interesting if I was a human myself."

"If you find humans so interesting, then why do you slaughter them?"

"Ah, you finally speak. Though, is that a serious question? Or an expression of dissatisfaction. You would know the answer to that, an order is an order."

"Is that all we are... Created to take orders?"

"Yes, yes."

Before Metanoia could give her refutal, the sound of a gun shot piercing metal and a body falling limp to the ground brought everyone into silence.

"Saki... why..." Lobelia shuddered. The cyborg had taken a bullet to save the life of her friend, and her beloved. She dropped down to her knees, the world felt like it had stopped, maybe ended. And for the father of the girl on the brink of death, he dropped his gun and felt a rush of emotions. It was psychotic. Was he feeling sad that he lost his daughter for good? Or glad that he lost his daughter for good? Relieved that no longer she'd tug his heartstrings, The pain of seeing her alive yet resenting him to the very core.

"Lobelia, I love you. Lobelia, You are more than just a friend to me. Lobelia, I love you. Not in the way you think I do. I-"

"No... No don't push yourself, you'll die!" Tears rushed down Lobelia's face, her hand ran over the area she was shot. "Even... Your heart is artificial? That bastard what did he do to you..."

"I only made her stronger." Hugo spoke in a low voice. "To be a cyborg in the world we have now is a gift. I gave her so much yet she isn't greatful!" He picked up his gun and once again shot at his daughter's body. Then pointing the gun at Lobelia. "I will not hesitate."

"Lobelia. Maybe in another life... We'll meet again. And I'll be able to tell you my true feelings. Metanoia, I order you to protect Lobelia!" Saki rushed to speak, then forced her limp body to move, pushing Lobelia out of the way before she could react. And there, the young cyborg took the bullet that ended her life.
