Thinking about how Ratchet said "The only time people talk to [Rung] is when they're sick -- and I know how that feels"... I wonder if, after Drift left, Ratchet found his life suddenly quieter. People still talked to him, of course, but no one went out of their way to at any given hour. Not like Drift did. And that quiet void in his life just grew larger and larger until he couldn't ignore it anymore.
