He is instantly annoyed by her basic biological demands, yet deeply intrigued by her lack of hostility and oddities. Armed only with some patience, an empathetic heart, mature mind and an analitic eye. She has an excessive need to apologize for her own existence, a trauma-born habit that makes her vulnerable to his psychological games, yet, a door for the young man's spark. As global Autobot-Decepticon tensions escalate, Nova must be cautious with war-forged and brainwashed alien people. What begins as a humiliating captivity slowly transforms into a high-stakes psychological game where the line between master and pet begins to blur.
