"Wait! You can't look at me!.. um, sorry."
"No, no I get it. With the whole 'playing hero' thing, sometimes it's not good for others to see you. Whatever your reason is, I don't mind."
There was a long pause.
"...R...
"What? What are you talking about? Nothing happened. Nothing."
"You sure you're not lying?"
. . .
"I knew it! Youare lying! What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing... I just... I guess I'm glad (Y/N)'s here..? She's been a big help and keeps an eye out for Mikey. It's good that she's getting some sleep."
"Mikey? Just Mikey?"
. . .
. . .
"What are you looking at me like that for, Raph?"
"Because it's you who she keeps tabs on most!... I-I mean..."
"... Really?"
"You're so dense! She's always telling you to be careful the most!"
"I guess you're right... But that's because I have a broken leg..."
"Ugh! For the love of-! Look, Leo... When we get back to the city, what are we gonna do huh?"
"We're gonna take it back from the Kraang."
"Right, and after that?"
"I... I guess we'll go find Master Splinter."
"And after that?"
. . .
"We're gonna go looking for Karai again, aren't we?"
"... Yeah."
"Christ! When are you gonna let her go!?"
"I'm not going to!"
. . .
"... She's... She's Splinter's daughter. If we can save her, we should!"
"You're not looking for her because she's Splinter's daughter, anymore! It's because you're so in love with her!"
"What does it matter, Raph!?"
"It matters because she's been nothing but trouble for us anyways! You have to draw the line somewhere!"
"I'm the leader, Raph, not you! I'll draw the line where I want!"
. . .
. . .
"How do you feel about her, Leo?"
"Karai?"
"No, (Y/N)."
"I... Why?..."
"Answer the question."
"Why, Raph?"
"Because if you don't love her, then I'll make sure she knows."
"L-love her? Why would I be in love with..."
"There it is. That look. You still don't know how you feel about her, do you?"
"I... Raph, what..?"
"I knew you wouldn't notice it on your own. You're an idiot like that."
"I'm not an idiot."
"Yes you are! You don't even notice how much she's done for us. She's been by our side for as long as she could, and she goes out of her way to make sure we're all alright. She's like the mother we never got!"
. . .
"You noticed too, right?"
"I... Why does she?"
"I don't know, maybe because she knows? Or maybe because she's trying to make sure you don't do it by yourself?"
"By myself?"
"You know, playing leader."
. . .
"Think about it, Leo. She wouldn't be sticking around this long if she didn't care for all of us. I just hope you care."
