   Summary

   Ratchet departs from the autobots and finds himself back at the clinic in the Dead End. Injured and unable to repair himself, he sets out to reopen the clinic and work until he can find the strength for repairs, or die trying. A figures from his past appear, at first seeming to help, but the war keeps pulling them away from him. As time goes on Ratchet finds comfort in the small things, but his memory doesn't allow him to enjoy them for long
