Ice, and thawing ice, and screaming at - who? Megatron. He remembers that name. He remembers hate. and wanting. And then betrayal and despair. And he remembers.
And I hurt you because I did not know better, because I thought you'd betrayed me and I was so wrapped up in me, all the time me and in my goal. So single minded I pursued it; this glorious vision of Cybertron with thousands worshipping at my feet...
"I forgot you."
I forgot me. What I was. Ambitious, but not... not like that. I'm sorry. Can't say it, but I am. won't admit it to myself, but I am.
"I can't change back."
There's too much broken. And too much hate. He lays there, his eyes closed, but at least he is not alone. He smiles, because here and now, he feels... not lost. Comfortable.
But then again...
Cannot change my nature. Have to fight. Have to go. Have to keep going. But perhaps.
He opens his eyes again. Right now, they are red, and shine like dying suns.
