Orion can no longer reasonably doubt that Megatron has the Matrix and that all of this has been a lie. Not with the way Megatron laughed at him, like he was nothing. He knows that the Forge can only be used by a Prime, so one can only assume that they are planning to do something with it and the Matrix in tandem.
But he also knows that he is the only potential Prime around and he finds himself afraid that this was somehow what Megatron wanted from him all along. That maybe they'll come for him next.
He tries not to think about it. Instead he focuses on Arcee's voice and the lines of broken metal as he welds them back together.
"You are not alone, Arcee. In thought or in deed. I have often felt inadequate here as well... But you have everything that I am, just as I know you give everything you are. You were...You are so very brave in the face of all this and I do not think I would have made it this far without your guidance."
