Garrus-9, Overlord and his torture methods memories he had, the sessions he had with Rung, the anger he had in his Spark, the incident at the Swerve's bar- Fortress Maximus needed a break.

Fortress knew you were as traumatized as him, even if he didn't know the matter in depth- and after your trauma, Rodimus Prime took you in the Lost Light immediately when the war ended, to keep you safe. You didn't want to do sessions with Rung, just like Fortress, you thought it was useless and that it wouldn't help, just like Fortress- You were traumatized, just like Fortress.

Fortress found himself staring at you from afar, in Swerve's bar, sitting at a table not too far from yours. You weren't drunk in Engex- not yet at least- talking calmly with Swerve.
