Remorse


I thought it would make them stronger.

That's what I told Leonardo to overcome his reluctance to leave. I didn't want my sons to remain so dependent on each other; I wanted them to experience that they could endure separation.

I who raised them, I was so certain it would work...

Then Leonardo didn't come back.

Donatello sacrificed the science he loves so much. I haven't heard Michelangelo's laughter in weeks. Raphael… Raphael is breaking off his ties with us, a little more every day.

And still, Leonardo doesn't come back.

What have I done?
