[Drift is quiet for a moment, words smothered under the weight of that question. And when they come out, they're clipped and heavy.]
I don't know. But. I intend to ask. Someone will know.
[Those people in the cortex, they could help him right?]
I don't know that either, we haven't...talked about it in detail. [And who would want to? It's another thing Drift's been avoiding.
He also doesn't want to think about the myriad of ways the battle at Crystal City could have ended. The only one he's ever wished for was the one where Wing doesn't have to die for Drift's mistake. It feels like any step he makes, any option he chooses, is flawed. If there's one thing in his misguided history he could redeem it is that; and it's cruel, SO CRUEL, to be being given this chance and make it so perilous. The frustration grows until he can't contain it anymore, shoving Megatron's arm away and stabbing a finger towards his chest and that Autobrand.]
I'm not just going to give up! And walk away! What would you do, huh?! What would you do if it was Bee??
