"Of course it's not his damn fault," Ratchet snaps. "It's not yours either, not really, but it is your responsibility. So shoulder it."

He looks down at his hands again, working slowly at Rodimus' plating, finishing checking and clearing damage before he moves to Rodimus' arm.

"You owe him that, regardless of the circumstances here. We both do."

"I'm trying," he snaps back. Even though he doesn't want to have this conversation with Ratchet. He's trying but Megatron is there and undermines him and it's awful. How can he redeem himself, how can he attempt to fix what he's done and to be better when he doesn't have the chance anymore? Optimus took it away from him, and-- well. He curls into himself further, turning as much away from Ratchet as the other will allow.

The last statement gets a sound of agreement from Rodimus, reluctant as it is. He knows that, Ratchet, Primus.
