Something New

Splinter looked at himself and then looked at the little ones in front of him. They were playing, but they weren't playing like animals, not that he had seen. No, they were playing more like children. Like human children.

And himself? He was different too. He was sitting up more like a human. It was more comfortable than sitting more like a rat. Things were making more sense to him as well, in a way that, while he couldn't put the difference into words, he still knew that there was a difference. Even his reflection in the waters looked different.

What was he? What were they? They weren't humans. But neither were they animals any longer. They were something else. They were something new. And he was going to have to figure out what it was that they were.
