[ If anything, this is proving how much Miss Selfish can be thoughtful and considerate to others...if she cares enough. Just like any good thing worth unlocking in a game, it takes some work to meet the criteria for her special route. Soundwave has more than done that.

And so, he's earned no jokes about being openly sweet to her. No pointing out his blushing. No complaints about where they sat, even if the view wasn't as perfect. If he'd insisted on keeping his face masked? She'd have smiled and shrugged. He lets her be himself, so he can be himself in turn. The ultimate kindness very few people have received from her.

Anything for such a good...friend. ]

Is this the time I say it's coarse and irritating and blah blah blah? Ahaha. [ Yeah, yeah, she doubts he'd know any Earth memes, but it's funny to her. ] Never mind. But... [ She nods. ] It's okay either way. With you? It's perfect.

[ She indulges in a moment of shutting her eyes, breathing in long breaths of the scents mingling with what she thinks is the scent of him. Once she's done, she rests her head on his shoulder, gazing at his face. Those glowing eyes of his get that same soft look from her. Soft, but oddly intense, like she's trying to look past his avatar's eyes and directly into his visor tucked away in the garage. ]

Maybe you can tell me about a beach you've been to. Or any nice place. Or anything you want.

[ She brings their hands up and kisses his fingertips. Another friendly gesture. ]

Or...nothing at all. Just as long as I can be here with you.
