[Hi! I was told to set this up so people could leave me messages! So I'm leaving a message for you to leave me a message! If you know where my family is or how to get home, please tell me. I would like to go home. Thanks. Oh, this is Twitch.]

[The words only provide a small comfort but here eyes shine with dismay.]

But you didn't protect Hashtag. You didn't keep her from disappearing.

[She regrets the words as soon as she says them. She knows, somewhere, that this isn't his fault, but she needs to throw her panic and fear somewhere. She needs to ground the blame, to find a way to make sense of things.

In all her life, Twitch has never been so scared to be alone.]

[and who could blame her for feeling that way? the corner of his mouth twitches slightly, but otherwise, he doesn't shift. optimus keeps his hand around her-- it'll help her a bit if she can let some of the emotion out instead of pushing it all down.]

We can still work to fix it. [this is not a lie. he fully intends to try and push harder into what anyone knows about the bridge to get some kind of answer that isn't just a vague shrug.] I'll stay with you.

[he says that second part again, trying to affirm to her he isn't going anywhere. insomuch as he even can.]

[Twitch curls in on herself a little more. As scared as she is, as much as she's lashing out, there is still a comfort in having Optimus here. She knows he means it when he says he'll stay.]

What are we supposed to do now? Just wait?

[It's clear she isn't a fan of this idea, but she can't imagine what else there is.]

I have messaged a couple of people who may have answers. I'll let you know when the conversations have returned productive results. [still, he keeps his hand around her, aware the answers will probably not be satisfying at all. optimus can't help but naively hope, though.] ...I am going to clean up slightly, if you want to help. Don't-- if you don't feel up to it.

[bigsisterterran]

[Well, it was something... She wasn't sure what other kind of answers there was to be had at this point. Even if they weren't the answers she wanted.

She sniffled and sat up a little.]

I'll help.

[She really wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. Or maybe fight something. Or both at the same time. but at least helping Optimus gave her something to do, made her feel like she was helping someone.]
