No point beating yourself up over the past when everything's been said and done, Megs. Trust me, other folks will do that for you. Learn and grow, and focus on getting better for now.
Guilt is a heavy burden that means nothing if it changes nothing. Yes, your past actions contributed to the current situation, but one mech alone could not have caused the entire war and its resulting destruction.
Is he okay?
Sun will be fine, my love. I will watch over him for memory purges. The search for our mysterious guest will have to wait, but I did find this.
It's the same shade of red paint Sunny uses in his paintings for Sides! It has to be him, right? But is he injured?
It seems so, which would match Sun's recent pattern of recharge fluxes and his restlessness. I will contact Ratchet in the morning, but I worry how Sideswipe's presence would affect Sun's progress. He seems to be the wilder, more independent twin between them, and considering Sun's state when he came to us...
We'll have a stable home for both of them. Sun's not exactly easily swayed either, he knows they're safe here. Maybe letting him talk to OP will help put Sides on a more even keel too.
Optimus Prime here. If you need any help let me know and I'll see what can be done.
