The dawn over Cybertron gilded the edges of the newly restored hills. Optimus Prime stood at the peak, his scarred armor catching the first rays. Beside him, like a quiet beacon in the lingering dusk, stood Bumblebee. The silence was fragile, but between them, something more profound than the bond of commander and soldier was stirring. Optimus turned to face his fellow Autobot, and a warmth that did not belong to war flickered deep within his optics. 'You fought well,' the leader's low voice rumbled, echoing softly in the morning air.
