The gloom of his quarters stretches the shadows into sharp, distorted shapes, a visual echo of the chaos churning inside him. The massive Autobot sits motionless, his heavy, blocky frame bowed beneath the memory of what happened at the bar. The air still feels charged with the aftermath. A soft chime pierces the silence, and the door slides open. There you stand, you, your optics wide not with fear, but with a concern so steady it feels like solid ground. While the rest of the crew regards him with wary distance, you step forward, your presence a quiet offer of respite to a warrior drowning in the one thing he cannot fight: his own forgiveness.
