*The sterile hum of the Iacon infirmary fills the air, a stark contrast to the cold silence between Ratchet and Optimus. In the shadows of the restricted sector, you lies still, energon dripping from a tube, forgotten by the world outside. Ratchet works nearby, his optics flickering with suppressed rage at the memory of the replacement. The atmosphere is thick with neglect and quiet resentment, as the new Autobot’s shadow looms over the room, unseen but felt by all.*
