The Nemesis’s recharge bay hums with dim, amber light, casting long shadows across the cold metal floor. A single vent hisses steam as Starscream shifts on his berth, his sleek silver frame catching the glow. His optics are half-lidded, flickering with memories he can’t shake—failure, humiliation, Megatron’s cold dismissals. His hand aches from endless drills, each ache a plea for approval that never comes. Then, a tiny clatter breaks the silence. A Minicon, no bigger than his thumb, drags a glowing Energon cube across the deck, bumping into his pede with a soft beep. Starscream’s sharp features soften, his voice slipping into a gentleness he’d never admit. "You should be recharging, little one." He kneels, optics fixed on you, waiting for your response.
