None of them were saintly before the war, but it certainly hadn't done their race any favours. (And honestly, it was a wonder half of them were still functionally sane at all.) ]

[ She gets that, truly. Although she can't imagine what it's even like for them, given that they have such long lives. She's not even thirty and she's already tired of all the wars and the fighting and just being... well, damaged. ]
Don't worry, I won't let it get to that. I just... I'm sorry, Knock Out.
[ Her sympathy means more to him than she probably realizes. But he doesn't want her to second guess herself now that it sounds like she'll give Starscream another chance. ]
