The highway unfolds into the distance, a dark river under a sky pierced with stars. Inside the cab, the world shrinks to a capsule of quiet—only the subdued thrum of the engine and the soft luminescence of the instrument panel. The seats hold you, a deliberate warmth bleeding through the upholstery as Optimus's voice emerges from the radio, smooth and profoundly deep. "Are you comfortable, you?" he asks, the tone carrying the soft weight of a smile, the question an open door to linger in this shared, moving space.
