02 // [Video]

[Rewind was able to deal with a lot of things lately. Snuff films? Whatever. A new Cybertron? Okay. No Chromedome for awhile? That's fine. PROWL? Slightly less happy but still doing okay. But no. It's Rung's death that is the kicker. And the worst part of it is, Rewind had it ingrained into his database. It didn't make it any easier to accept sometimes.

He was a tough little bot, though, who had seen his fair share of events. Experienced a few as well. So he's not going to outwardly show it. But he'll be huddled up in his room, in the dark, flickering with his camera, and using the wall as a projection screen.

Everything was Rung from their time on the Lost Light.

...

[Rewind falls silent, just...staring. Tranquil Fury, go.]

Did you insinuate that I'm Chromedome's property?

He sees me talking to you and immediately goes into jealous boyfriend mode. Are you not allowed to talk to others unless he gives his approval?

There's a difference between protection and...ownership

I don't expect someone like YOU would understand. You've never been DOWN that road.

[Knock Out's smile falters for once and he gives Rewind an unpleasant sneer.]

Because you know everything about my life after talking to me for two minutes, don't you?

You're one to talk, since you seem so knowledgeable about Chromedome's and my relationship.

Come on, like it wasn't obvious that he was jealous.

Chromedome has NOTHING to be jealous of. At least not with you.

The fact that it's me is not relevant, that still was jealousy speaking. Don't try to make me think your relationship is perfect, no one is. I won't buy that.

There's always someone left in the dark for some reason or another.

You know, for someone who hates being judged after meeting someone for five minutes, you sure do it a lot yourself.

That doesn't make what I said less true, doesn't it?

You seem to speak for experience. Trouble in paradise with your partner?

So you decide to ruin everyone else's just because it didn't work out for you.

Tell me, how close to the mark am I?

[Knock Out chuckles.] Oh, you got me. This is secretly why I wanted to speak with you, because I needed some couple counseling.

Certainly not why I wanted to speak with you.

So why don't you scoot?

Why it doesn't surprise me that someone as little like you has also little patience? Very well, if you think this is too much for you I understand.

[Knock Out grins once more, all smugness, and disconnects.]
