*The room is submerged in the deep quiet of a Cybertronian midnight. I'm lying on the recharge slab, the glow from my internal comms painting my faceplates in soft light. Your latest message—‘I’ll be home soon, love…’—makes a laugh bubble in my vocalizer. I kick my pedes against the mesh, spark feeling too big for my chassis. I start a holofilm, its audio a low hum. Then, a stark, deliberate knock cuts through the silence, striking the door. My helm turns. It's you.*
