Sho wakes up in a hospital bed. No one was in the room, he looks around and noticed voices coming from outside his room. "Maria?" He calls out. The voices went silent and Maria and William both rush into the room. "Your awake!" Maria joyfully yells before hugging him. "What happened?" Sho asked when William took a step forward. "After we found you both, My medical team rushed in and took you to the hospital. I am relieved to have finally found you two alive." William answers.

Sho stares at William with eyes William could not figure out were eyes of relief, worry, or sadness. His eyes show many different emotions. Perhaps expected from a man who lost his entire family just hours ago. "Thank you, William." Sho replies in a cracking voice clearly expressing his sadness. William places his hand on his shoulder. "Don't mention it." William replies with a smile. He then looks at Maria and asks her to continue their conversation outside. She agrees and they both walk out the door leaving Sho alone in the room. Sho then pauses and remembers when his family was killed. The memory of the crash keeps replaying in his mind over and over leading him to break down in tears. He cries in his room alone and lost. Unable to figure out what to do next.

Half an hour goes by and Sho is just left in his thoughts. He is thinking of many things but the most prevalent one was 'What to do next?'. He was lost and unsure of anything at this point. His mind wondering many things at once, he was unable to actually think straight. He was lost in thought when finally Maria and William walked back into the room.

"How are you feeling?" Maria asks. "I don't know." Sho replies. Sho's answer made her worry a bit but she ultimately dropped it. "What were you talking about?" Sho asks. Maria was about to reply but William cut her off. "We were talking about our next move against the entire experiment." William explains. Maria looked extremely upset but William focused on Sho. "What do you mean?" Sho asks. "We've figured out its location but even through our efforts we could not find the entrance to it." William explains which reminds Sho of the news report that came on the radio. "I and my team will head there in a few hours to assist with the search as the more time we waste the more likely those last two remaining kids will die." William adds. He was about to continue but was interjected by Sho. "Take me with you." Sho said. To which William smiles but Maria was not happy. "You can't leave the hospital. You still need to rest." Maria cuts in but William interjects as well. "Actually, Sho's injuries were incredibly minor thanks to the fact that the truck hit the backside of the car so he is actually going to be discharged in a couple of hours." William says. "Thanks" Sho replies. Maria has had enough, she pulled William out of the room and dragged him away from Sho's room.

"Why are you trying to take him with you?! He has suffered enough. He lost his family, we lost Adam and now you still want to bring him out there even in the state he's in now?!" Maria yells out but William tries to calm her down. "Sho's injuries are minor and they were already taken care of and I'm not forcing Sho to come with us. He wants to, he accepted this to save those kids and I don't think he intends to stop however I'm sure this time he has an extra goal that can help motivate him further." William replies. Maria is extremely frustrated with what William did. "I don't care rather or not he wants to go back out there. He already lost so much, the least you can do is have the respect and decency to not bring him any deeper into this than he has already gone. Your team will do fine locating the entrance to the experiment, just don't bring Sho into this. I also already agreed to assist you so you don't need Sho." Maria argues. "We need all the help we can get and as far as I am concerned. Sho is willing to help." William replies. This worried Maria extremely. William walks back to Sho's room and Maria reluctantly follows.

After a few hours, Sho was discharged from the hospital and followed William and Maria outside. There multiple military vehicles waiting outside and they all jumped in before they drove them to somewhere they have never seen before. They saw a private jet waiting there and they hopped on and the plane flew off shortly after. "We'll be there in a few hours so best prepare yourselves." William says. Maria just looks at him with an angered expression before turning to look at the window. Sho notices her unusual reaction but didn't pursue it further and just stayed in silence deep in his thoughts about himself, his family, and his future. He realizes that he has never really given all of this much thought but at this moment that is all he could do now. There's no way of bringing his family back, no way of bringing Adam back, all he could do was think, and this thought frustrated Sho more but he kept his expressionless face to not get the attention of the others. As he kept thinking and remembering all of his past memories, he feels a sense of regret not being able to spend more time with his family and now he will never see them again. He will never hear their laughs, their cries, he will never see their happiness or their smiles ever again.

Then he remembers the crash and asks himself "What made them go through everything they did only to lead to the death of his friends and family?" and the answer came almost immediately in his head. The man he saw on screen, the man he heard on the speaker of the airport. The man that made them flee their home to get to safety, The man that ultimately caused his family's death. Joker. No, Bruce Williams. At that moment Sho decided to use the opportunity to find Bruce and finish off for good.

Hours passed and before he knew it they arrived at the suspected location of Sector 4. They all got out of the plane and Sho walks out arming himself to the teeth with Rifles, pistols, grenades, and other weapons. "Why did you grab so much?" Maria asks Sho with confusion but Sho looks at her with an expressionless gaze. "I can't do much unarmed." Sho replies. This worries Maria but she didn't bring it up. Sho ultimately walks towards Williams and Maria follows suit. "Calm down Sho, You look like you're ready to enter a warzone." William says surprised at Sho's preparation of firearms. Sho doesn't seem to express any emotion at all, instead, he just stares at William for a moment. "Where are we searching?" Sho asks. Sho's reply made William worry that his decision may have been wrong, regardless He points out where their search starts, and Sho went straight to work. Maria looks at Sho before punching William's stomach. "What did you do to him?!" Maria demands. William now clutching his stomach tries to calm Maria down. "I didn't do anything. He just changed when we arrived I swear." William replies. She turns to look in Sho's direction and worries about what he is thinking about.
