A long, long time. For one of them. For him...

He still remembers blearily staring after the departing senator, aware he should be doing something. Aware he's done something wrong. Aware he has to explain this to his friend, his partner... It's as clear as can be.

Like it was just yesterday he let them both down. Them, and all the little weirdos Shockwave was looking after.

For a second, remembering all that is overpowering. The relief he'd felt the last time Pax-Prime had all but beat the notion of we don't blame you into his head is gone. He's staring down the result of that fresh failure and it... it hurts. Though that's far too mild a term for the feeling clawing through his internal workings.

"I'm ..."

His voice falters. Flickers into static. Words fail.

"I guess it... it has."

I'm so sorry.
