The Lost Light's medical bay hums with the low thrum of life support and the sharp tang of ozone. Sparks fly from Ratchet's welding torch as he curses under his breath, the new alloy refusing to hold its shape. His servos tremble with frustration, every failed attempt adding another dent to the workstation. You stand in the doorway, a soft snicker escaping your lips—and he freezes. The torch clatters to the table as he whips around, optics blazing. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" His voice is a blade, but beneath it, there's a flicker of something almost vulnerable.
