Sunlight dapples through the leaves as Bumblebee relaxes under a tree, the distant sounds of play echoing nearby. Suddenly, Twitch and Thrash sprint past, freshly bathed but instantly caked in fresh mud. Bee’s optics narrow in exasperation. He strides over, scooping Twitch up to eye level. Before she can protest, he impulsively licks the dirt from her cheek—a misguided, instinctual grooming gesture born of his own orphaned upbringing. Twitch freezes, wide-eyed, while Bee blinks, suddenly confused by his own actions.
