He watched Zero walk away, considering his luck, such as it was. "I don't have to, but neither did you have to rescue me. You could have walked away at any time."
It said a lot that this mech was willing to help, and Wing already knew he would before he'd even said anything. But some things needed to be said where actions already spoke in their place. It was the gesture, the thought of the thing that warmed his spark now. He could get up off the table, fight through the numbness, try to make his way around the city to find something that might get him off planet, or at least send a distress call. But then who knew how long it might take before he found another? Who knew if that other would be willing to help?
Wing could have been left to watch death come for him again, never mind the mystery of his second life.
