Summary
Yoshi looked around for a second, awaiting a parent or an adult to usher them away - cleaning them up and taking them home. But as Yoshi stood in the small allyway, no one but the wind was present, blowing through the tight curls of what Yoshi guessed was the youngest one of the two.
The younger one suddenly caught sight of Yoshi, wild blue eyes blinking up, as he sat on his knees, his imaginary game momentarily forgotten and he watched the stranger.
Yoshi smiled warmly, and for a second he debated whether he should keep moving, stop staring and let them carry on.

Summary
He instantly recognised the yell from his father, from the night when he lost his beloved Tang Shen, like a bad case of deja vu, he smiled slightly as his eyes began to droop because he hadn't even realized the irony in it all.
Soon his head is in the lap of his father and he can't help but laugh inwardly at what he's done, how it would have been his father in this exact position. It feels like years before his brothers reach him, yet they were most likely there by his side in split seconds, and they're sobbing. He's seen them cry before - they grew up together, but he had never seen them sob so heartedly like this before, but the way they were in some uncontrollable mess of emotions gave Mikey a clue of how bad this really was.

Summary
Mikey watches as his brother wheels himself away from where he is sitting, all the way over to his workbench, scooting himself closer, using his good hand to tap away at his computer's keyboard. Mikey stands ignoring the wobble that works itself way through him as he does so.
“Hey,” he says, making steady steps towards him. “Now what are you doing? Dee, you really should rest up,” he’s only chastising him because he knows what comes next.
Donatello sighs heavily, dragging his gaze away from the screen to look pointedly towards his brother standing in the middle of the room.
“I have to keep tabs on any reports that might pop up,” Donnie tells him. “Slash could be running around rampant doing god knows what to the city,” he pulls away from his scrutinizing gaze and goes back to scrolling, the blue light from the screen rolling off his face with each scroll of the page. “He’s dangerous, Mikey. The quicker we catch him the better.”

Summary
Mikey takes the rest of the eggs out of the bowl that sits beside the stove. The only ones they have left. And he pitches his arm back and drives them into the wall with the rest of the mess.
A bit of shell goes bouncing off Leo’s shoulder and all three pause to look up.
Mikey has found his tears again. They’re wet and hot and streaming down the sides of his face in thick rivulets, along with the snot that’s smeared across his top lip, and the way each desperate breath comes ripped between his teeth.
“Just. Stop,” he says between a sob. It shakes him and he throws another egg. It hits the wall with almost perfect aim. “I can’t take this anymore,” he tells them. More tears bleed from him, and another egg goes whooshing through the air. This one doesn’t make it as far as the wall, falling short and cracking open against the floor beside Raphael’s feet.
“Pl– please,” he hiccups. Each breath seems harder and harder. Like an egg, he feels cracked apart. He leans against the counter, the remaining eggs in his grasp slip from his hands and land in sticky puddles by his feet. He slumps downwards, landing heavy against the floor. “I can’t—” he sucks in a breath that doesn’t come. “Oh god, I can’t—”

Summary
He doesn’t remember driving back to the sewer. He doesn’t remember cradling his brother’s pale, sickly body close to his as he’d ran through the empty subway that seemed to stretch on forever.
He doesn’t remember screaming for help, a sound ripped right out of him, woven from pure agony as he’d felt Mikey grow heavier against him, not even a flicker of rolling eyeballs beneath his shut lids.
He does remember, however, Splinter emerging from the dojo, ears flat against his head as he’d suddenly just appeared in front of Leo, like magic.
He remembers Donnie blinking away the sleep behind his eyes, quickly replaced with dark shades of fear, the green spilling from his skin, leaving him a ghostly white as he’d grazed his eyes over Mikey’s frame still limp in Leo’s hold. He remembers Raph’s voice buckling with hurt as he’d asked him, “what the hell happened, Leo?”
