The Firstforged claim they're some kind of gods. What an exaggeration that is.

[Thank you, Kagerou. And don't you sound bitter today. Granted, he's been bitter about all this since Perceptor vanished... but recently, everything has sort of come to a head. He can't keep it down anymore.]

They want us to build. They want us to run their world, and behave like peaceable little children.

And what do we get in return?

Murdered. Lied to. Misdirected. Our work ruined. Criminals running amok. Empty promises.

[As he says the last words, his fingers clench around his arm, around the Glyph.]

They want us to trust them -- but these Firstforged are nothing like they say they are. They tell us they can't control who leaves and who stays, but, then they turn around and tell us we're safe with their markings! They don't care one bit, what happens to us! If they did...

[If they did, I would be able to do what I was promised I could...]

[His hand lifts, revealing the very elaborate, intricate Glyph -- his status is showing, and boy does he look unhappy about it.]

If their reward for our service is loss and death, I would rather not have their mark at all!

[He nods a little, but the touch makes his optic widen a little, and he actually looks up. There is a lot of surprise in his expression.]

I...

[He shakes his head, and the surprise is covered in calm again.]

Thank you. I'll remember... that.

[Rung smiles softly and nods, his hand lingering for a moment before he draws it away slowly.]

Good. That's all I ask, Kagerou.

[His head tilts a little, leaning into the lingering touch ever so slightly, before the Autobot pulls back.]

Thank you. For coming here.

[And that gets an even softer look from the therapist, one that shows just how much he cares for the other.]

Anytime, Kagerou. I mean it.

I know you do. You've done so much.

... I will do what I can, in return.

And I will continue to do as much as possible because you are my friend, Kagerou.
