[9S makes a wry face as Venus' wings unfold. It's a blatant reminder that she's not human, not fully, but 9S still couldn't accept that someone would choose to stop being human.
But human or not, it didn't factor into his decision here. She asked for help, and he came.
Once Venus has a grip on Cruel Oath, 9S lowers one arm and sweeps the other across his chest. It takes a little more effort to reel her back in, but to her the sword might as well have effortlessly cut its way through space.
As the sword reached the tail end of its journey, the unsteady distribution of weight rattles it, and it suddenly veers off course. Venus is unceremoniously thrown into the open doors of the airlock, and 9S stumbles back in shock as his sword goes straight through him. Without gravity, blood and oil pours out of him in a crimson cloud.]
