Unnecessarily ominous and lacking punctuation.
Clarify your intentions and actions at once.

Magnus.

I'm sorry.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

Chromedome. This is unnecessary.
Stop this.

Who was the second one?

TEXT;

[needlefingers]

I can't stop.
I won't stop.

This isn't real Magnus.
It's not possible that any of this is real.
There's only one way I'll know for sure.

The second one will find out soon enough.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

This is real. What you're doing is real.
Please, come talk to me. You can stop. You have to.

He would have had faith in you. Unwavering faith.

I want to try to do the same.

TEXT;

[needlefingers]

"He"? Who's "He"?
I don't have anyone Magnus.
Never have.

I can't tell anymore.
Nothing feels right.

TEXT;

[thehardway]

Your conjunx endura. Rewind.
I know you're in mourning, but this is no excuse. I can't look the other way, Chromedome.

Stop what you're doing and let me talk to you.

TEXT;

[needlefingers]

Who's Rewind? Conjunx endura? Mourning?
Now I KNOW that you're not real either.
I've never had a conjunx endura.
Haven't had anyone since Prowl.

TEXT; 1/2

[thehardway]

Don't be ridiculous. You and Rewind have been close since

TEXT; 2/3 just kidding

[thehardway]

How dare you.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

Give me your location. That is an order!

[needlefingers]

[The name means absolutely nothing to him. It doesn't even bring up any risidual feelings. He's just that good.]

I need to do something first.
I'm sure we'll talk about this "Rewind" later.
If he means so much to you.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

If I gather the Decepticons under my protection, what then, Chromedome?

Text;

[needlefingers]

It's not going to matter in the next couple of hours.
The Decepticons will have their revenge and I'll see for sure if this is real or not.
Everyone's happy.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

No one is happy about this!

Chromedome!

AUDIO;

[needlefingers]

I trust you Magnus. I really do. You're one of us and we all look out for each other.

I'm just... tired. I'm so tired. I can't...

Do this anymore.

I don't want to be your problem anymore.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

Chromedome, we're crew. You're one of mine. I'm supposed to protect you and keep you in line. I've failed one out of two.

Don't. Just don't.

AUDIO;

[needlefingers]

I-

[He sighs. There's so much he wants to say, but no time to say it.]

I'm sorry, Magnus.

Goodbye.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

I'm begging you. Please.

[needlefingers]

[This hurts more than he thought it would. His spark feels like it's crushing itself in his chest.

There's nothing more to do but disconnect.]
