Why did they leave? Leave her all alone? There is only some much sanity someone can sacrifice.

Arcee had felt like she had no one to turn too. So she did what she all she could.

Smile.

You could call arcee a eccedentesiast. Not like she cared. It felt like right now anyone could do anyone to her and she wouldn't care. All the stress was building up inside of her. She definitely couldn't tell the counsel about it. Nor elita or ultra Magnus. They had enough on them with strongarm missing.

Sometimes the universe has a cruel sense of humor.
But she told herself the trick was to learn to take a joke.

Life is trying things to see if they work.

"Arcee?" A gentle voice interrupted her as she cried. "Y-yeah?" She choked out "its elita." Elita said from the closed door. Arcee wiped tears from her optics "c-come in." Another sob shook her. Elita came in "hey. How long have you been like this?" Elita asked as she pulled arcee into her grip. Arcee's helm landed on her shoulder and one of elita's arms went around arcee's shoulder while she held arcee's servo. "I'm sorry I didn't notice. I really am. You'd think as a mother myself I'd notice...... I'll stop now." Elita looked down arcee chocked out another sob and a half laugh "it's ok *inhale* aunt elita. Really. But am I failing at being a leader?" Arcee asked "well I don't think so. Your mother never thought so. And cybertron hasn't gone to war with predatron so that's good. We still have a functioning system of laws. Just ask Magnus." Elita mumbled the last part "why do you think bee *gasp* left?" Arcee asked elita pondered this for a moment not wanting to get arcee even more upset than she already was
"Well we'll just have to hear it when drift brings him, strongarm, sideswipe, and possibly Sunstreaker. Back." Elita said arcee's lip was quivering she swallowed another sob and nodded. Elita began cleaning her tears away. "Your doing great arceeon. You hear me? Great."
Arcee nodded and buried her helm in the crook of her aunt's neck beginning to cry again. Elita rubbed her helm slowly while also whispering sweet nothings to her niece. Eventually arcee fell into recharge. Elita still kept up the pace not wanting to wake arcee

#is arceeon recharging?# ultra Magnus asked through their bond
#she is. But I'm sticking around for a bit Magnus. It's the best I can do given the circumstance.#
#alright, be safe you never know anymore.# he warned
#oh hush. I'll be fine. You need to worry about yourself first.# elita said curtly
#if you insist beloved.#

I am really good at making myself sad😭
