Apologies Explained

The morning after Christmas, Raph got up early. For some reason, he couldn't sleep.

Raph felt bad about the way he'd been acting towards his brothers lately. He did apologize to them. Still, he felt that he should explain his apologies. Raph decided to go talk to Splinter and headed for his room.


Raph spotted Splinter sitting on his meditation pillow. Splinter signaled for Raph to enter which he did.

"Splinter, remember when I said that I apologized to Mikey and Donny?"

"I remember."

"I didn't say why I was apologizing."

"Did you feel that to be necessary?"

"Not at the time but now I do."

"Then you should do the right thing and explain the apologies you made a couple weeks ago."

"I'll do that, Sensei."

"Good."

Raph left the room. Splinter went back to meditating.
