[Four isn't sure why, but the longer he spends away from home, the harder it is to sleep. Memories of his family, both dead and alive, haunt him until sleeping becomes a near impossibility. He misses them all, though in some weird way he misses the Scientists the most. What would he think of Four's adventures here in a strange world?]
Have you ever missed someone so much that it hurts inside when you think of them? What if this person was someone you have only met once, yet is more a part of you than anyone can hope to be? My home is a sad place, and my family is sad too, but I miss them a lot. I am not used to being alone.
Love and loss are a part of humanity I suppose.
My purpose is to catalogue and eventually understand humanity, and I feel as if the more loss I feel, the closer I come to it, as strange as that is. I am a long way from understanding it however.... so I ask:
What is humanity to you?
What does it mean to love and lose someone?
What is it like to hate?
[Four makes sure not to specify anything in his questions, he wants to see what his answers are.]

I... I don't know that he's lost for ever, but the best person I ever isn't here and I-
[She turns a little bit away from the camera, trying to mask as she wipes a tear from her face as grabbing for her phone to show the screen the picture of Bulkhead and Wheeljack.]
He's the big green one.
I think losing him has been... the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I try to think of the fun things we've done, and the great times we spent together, but sometimes it's hard.

If it hurts, do you think it is worth the pain of loving them?

I would rather hurt, and have the great memories, and know that person, then not at all.

Knowing good from bad, and right from wrong is a challenge.
[Four decides that he agrees with her about memories. Better to know and lose something you love than to never lose it at all. The pain just means that you loved them extra, and he likes that.]

Knowing those things is kind of the challenge of living.
