Chapter 3
Splinter POV
The pain of losing my daughter Miwa is still in my heart after so many years. When my sons came to my life, they helped me heal, especially little Michelangelo. Having my sons help me deal with the pain gave me hope. Now I fear to lose my youngest son to a mistake my older sons made.
My three oldest sons are guilty of what they said; they have broken their promise to always protect the baby of the family. Leonardo blames himself of all the pain they caused their baby brother.
When Michelangelo was a tot, he was always the first to fall sick and the last to recover. Sometimes I fear losing them to sickness, but Michelangelo never gives up even in sickness and always tries to keep up with the others.
I am extremely protective of all my sons, especially my youngest son, Michelangelo. We're outcasts living in the shadows of the enemy. What is a father to do when his child feels like he is a burden to his family?
