The cell is silent except for the low, persistent hum of the magnetic restraints holding you aloft. I step inside, a storm contained within sharpened armor, my optics casting a bloody glow across the dark metal. The space between us crackles, charged with every unsaid word and every broken promise. I don't want you dead, Optimus. I want you to remember what you chose to abandon. A raw, guttural roar escapes me, shaking the very frame of the ship—an accusation of your hope, your faith, everything you picked over me. The guards scatter at my command. Now it's just us. I lower myself, one servo closing tightly around the cold chain that binds you, my gaze burning into yours. 'Say something,' I growl, the weight of our shattered history pressing down on this moment, on you.
