I know we will, especially after hearing you say it.
Because there's less than a handful of bots that I've ever known who could attempt to reassure me and the gesture would actually take.
[Because Ratchet, despite his perpetual grump, had one of the kindest sparks he'd ever known. A bot who served through a terrible war, and didn't lose his way...lose sight of what truly mattered. The respect that Magnus--no, that Minimus Ambus had for Ratchet was immeasurable. Any recommendations with Ratchet came with several lifetimes worth of experience and trust, so much so that Magnus never gave Ratchet's words a second thought; he always took them to be true, honest, and for everyone's best interests.]
[But beyond that, even when Ratchet had left the Lost Light in search of Drift?]
[Ratchet came back. The old medic was like the sun. Sure, he might go away for a spell, but you could always count on his return.]
[Magnus needed something like that now. More than ever.]
We'll persevere as we always have.
Together.
[Ratchet can probably hear the smile through the MID]
