Leo was practicing katas when he noticed Donny walking towards him. Leo put his katanas aside and noticed that Donny looked a little upset about something but was trying to hold back.

"Leo, I'm going for a walk."

"Donny, you OK?"

"I'll fill you in later."

"OK, be careful."

Donny nodded and walked out of the lair. Leo picked up his katanas and resumed the katas he was working on.


About half an hour later, Donny was spending time with the mother cat and kittens. He had just fed them and gave them clean water.

The mother cat took a sip from the bowl. Then she went to each kitten and cleaned them and the kittens purred while being cleaned.

Eventually, the mother cat and kittens fell asleep in the corner. Donny quietly got up and left the area.


Leo decided to take a break and get something to eat. He put his katanas away and headed for the kitchen.

Leo went into the kitchen and found some pizza in the fridge. He got a plate out of the cupboard, put a slice on the plate, heated the pizza in the microwave, sat down at the table with the pizza, and started eating.

Leo couldn't get his mind off what had happened earlier. He was hoping that Donny would fill him in when he came back from his walk.


In another part of the sewer, Donny was standing in the special place that he had shown Mikey on Thanksgiving. For some reason, he couldn't take his mind off what Raph had screamed.

Donny knew that Raph could sometimes let his anger get the best of him. Lately, Raph had been a little out of control.

Donny went over to one of the walls and sat down. His vision started getting blurry again. This time, he didn't hold back. He buried his face in his arms and the floodgates opened.
