Hey…why do you like those big robots so much?
A familiar voice rang next to him, looking right away from the TV which was playing some old anime over 50 years ago.
Looking around, seeing the familiar room, he began to scratch his head, only to stop in the middle.
'Did my hand be this big?' Asking himself that question the man looked over to his nephew, he was still young, only about 10. He is a stoic little guy after losing his parents, but who can blame him? He lost them when he was not even 2 years old. And the man is simply not a father material with no girlfriend to help at all.
Hey, did you hear me? Why do you like it so much?
'Why? Why huh….' Listening to his nephew, the man starts to ponder why he liked robots so much. Why did he like them, super robots, real robots so much? Why? Ah…it was simple.
Looking over at his nephew, he ruffles the little guy's head before smiling brightly. "It's because it's insanely cool!'

Ding Ding Ding…
"Huh…?" Slowly rubbing my eyes, I look around the unfamiliar sight…seat, monitor on the front, and…Mama next to me.
"Ah…right…I was in the Elevator…when did I fall asleep…" Stretching myself, I looked over at the time, it was 15:35 with Earth's standard time. Meaning, we will arrive in just a few more minutes. Looking through the monitor, I could see the city below, it spans over a hundred kilometers, a very big city, the most portion should be for people who work on the elevator to live, and the rest is either a tourist trap or some convenient store, if I look further I could see Fighter being station on the main part of the elevator, with at least 30 mobile suit roaming around, most is for maintaining and construction, only a few military units.
"So…this is earth hm…It's not like my imagination at all." I thought it was going to be much more…cramp…but it seemed to be quite spacious. Well, they need to make it spacious for Mobile suits and military equipment to roam around freely like this.
Mhh…Guess I should wake Mama up.
"Mama, wake up." Shaking on her body, Mama didn't wake up. She is still sleeping soundly.
This time I touched her face, only to feel cold to my bone, her body was cold like that of a dead body. I quickly shook her again as fear gripped my heart and it was beating furiously "Mama! Mama!" Shaking her hard, Mama slowly opens up her eyes, her bright gold eyes look a bit dim, as I stare into it.
"...Yoha…? Are we on earth now…?" Mama asks, as if nothing happened even if she sees my panicked face.
"A-are you…ok? Your body…was very cold." I ask, my voice and hand shaking as I touch her face, but to my shock, it wasn't cold at all, just warm.
"What's wrong, Yoha? Are you ok? Did you have a nightmare or something?" Mama countered my questions, dismissing them with her own. I was unable to continue as I just looked at her, the fear was still present in me as my shaking hand was still touching her face, it wasn't cold, it was warm, then…what did I feel before?
"U-uh…" What do I do, My heart is going out of place, I feel as if something is wrong with Mama, but…she acting like it was nothing and I don't know what happened, I don't have the medical knowledge to diagnose her on the spot, I only know how to code and a little bit of mechanisms.
And nothing…other than those 2 things…I know nothing.
It's…hurt…not knowing what's wrong with her, and she acts like nothing happened, even though she seems hurt all the time, and I…can't do anything…
The only thing I can do is…grit my teeth and pretend nothing…is wrong…nothing is ever wrong.
"I….Just have a nightmare…that was all." Trying to smile the best I could, I continued to pretend nothing was wrong.
"A nightmare? Are you sure you are ok, Yoha? You never had them before." Mama asks in concern but I push that aside and instead just smile.
"Nope! I'm A-Okay! You know? It is probably because I'm not used to traveling and was probably tired? Bruuh! Did you feel that, Mama? The Air condition was so cold! We better turn that off before we catch a cold!" Quickly diverting her attention, I instead try coming up with something to talk about, only to be met with nothing in my mind, why? I never panicked like this before. I never lost my cool like this before, I never felt scared like this before…
I feel as if I would lose her if we continue descending to earth. I feel as if everything is going to go wrong, something is wrong, I can tell it but I can't do anything, I can't make any decision at all…
It was as if…my life had already been laid out…I looked at Mama, who was now instead focused on something on her phone with a groggy eye, my heart sang down as low as it could, looked at her, her face looked normal, the eye bag underneath that was covered by cosmetic, how unusually light body and frail structure…
Everything points to one thing, she was ill, and he wouldn't even tell it to me…as if she was trying to keep me at a distance…I thought that we…were close, no, we are close, I love her with all my being and she is too, but why…is she never telling me the truth? Why does she feel the need to hide things from me? Did I do something wrong? Why?
Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?
"Hm? Is something wrong? Yoha?"
"...No, not at all, Mama…"
