Part Six:
Reasons
He breathed his last roughly four hours ago.
He felt himself slip away as she pulled out the knife again, just as she cried, "No. More. Autobots!"
He knew he saw them, for one fleeting moment. He saw them searching, he saw them screaming inside their heads, wondering where he could be, and yet he wanted to call back-
"I'm here, I'm always, always here."
They were still trying to find him, as he saw the darkness finally cave in around him.
He closed his eyes, now no more.
And then he felt her.
She was standing over him.
She was holding a hand over his heart, her warm fingers trailing little paths of fire down his neck, coaxing him to try, one more time-
"There are reasons," she murmured, "You are the Messenger: You are curious as to why you are the control pillar. Can you see why now?"
There was a revelation, and he felt the power in his limbs.
Choose.
She was there.
He was warm.
She was smiling.
It was time to try again.
It was time to bring back that which was lost.
