[Honestly, Soundwave was expecting to be made fun of. Monika does that, but there's a reason why he kept this hobby a secret from his fellow Deceptions. It makes him embarrassed, shameful, and weak.
Instead Monika thinks it's nice, and he can feel heat on his cheeks.
Soundwave was content with staying on his side of the wall when Monika suddenly moves to stand beside him. His head lifts up to her, surprise flits under the avatar's mask, but... He is ultimately fine with this, muttering a quiet thanks under his breath.]
We do.
[It's like Monika pointed out. Funny how they both received all this freedom]
Monika, if you want... we could do everything you want together.
[It at least fulfills both of their desire; Monika wanting to experience the joy of freedom and giving Soundwave something to do, even if that something is simply following her whims.
Whether Monika has time to answer him or not, the sweet moment is soon cut short. The elevator suddenly stops moving and jars him off-balance. Soundwave has enough self-control to not let out a peep of surprise, but immediately after finding his footing, his first instinct is to catch Monika and hold her close to prevent her from falling.
It stabilizes soon enough, but the elevator stopped moving entirely.
Slow ride and now this. With all the fancy painting, you'd think they can afford maintenance. He'd fuss about it later, but first he'll need to do a wellness check.]

Are you alright, Monika?
