Sam woke the next morning to see Raph snoring next to her. Sam crept out and went to the living room, trying to shake off what happened last night: the image of her younger brother dying as she sat there, helplessly watching him suffer and slip away. Sam felt her tears burning as she remembered how he would goof around, his cheery smile, which gave her light, now gone forever. "Sam? Are you okay?" Sam heard Leo's voice; she turned around to see Leo standing there. Tears streaming down her face, she ran into his open arms, sobs shaking her body. Leo held Sam close, as her body shook with sobs of pain and grief. Leo walked over to the couch, sat down and pulled Sam into his lap. Leo whispered soothing words of comfort and held her close.
Later that night, Sam sat on the roof, gazing at the starry sky and she could've sworn she heard Mikey's voice. "Sam, I'll always be in your heart and memories. I loved you so much." Sam felt a large weight lift off her chest, knowing that her younger brother will never be forgotten and his memories would be with her forever.
