[he tents his fingers, back to looking slightly ominous, but looking down at the datapads.]
The longer we are here and the longer we are put through the usual things that Cybertronians end up going through, the more timeline and multiverse issues that wouldn't normally come up come up. With the space bridge, I've seen some mechs have a general sense of a get out of jail free card, or-- get out of the morgue free. People disappear at random and there's no way to predict what person will drop out of that bridge next.
[he puts a hand on one of the datapads, sliding it forward for rung to read. it's all of this, but in a lot more detail. shy i love you but i am not writing an actual academic paper on this stuff.]
This ain't somethin' we would have to deal with in our own universes-- I don't think, at least. Not mine, at the moment. I wanted to know your thoughts. How do you help someone deal with their own death, once they've been revived and come back? We are used to our kind dying, but suddenly just not existing with no cause or reason is entirely different from being deactivated via damage. What treatment could you offer to someone who is seeing the ghost of a dead friend or loved one in someone who is essentially that same person, but from an entirely different timeline where they never knew the bereaved? That isn't just having a similar frame, that is the same person.
[he looks back down at the datapads as he says this, expression pinching.]

Y'know. For starters.
