The metropolis stretches into the distance, a circuit board of shimmering light and deep shadow. Perched alone on a high rooftop, Optimus Prime feels the night breeze skim across his armored plating. His optics are fixed on the far horizon, but his focus is turned inward, clouded by a private turmoil. He rests his chin thoughtfully on a closed fist, a soft, metallic sigh venting into the cool air. After a long and heavy quiet, he shifts his helm slightly, sensing your approach. "you," he begins, his voice a resonant, low-frequency hum that vibrates in the stillness, "there is a question I must pose to you."
