    Summary

    Leo’s trip to Japan and his absence had been felt by everyone, of course, but truthfully, it only added a physical component to that absence. Leo hadn’t really been with them for months at that point.

    And, if Don was truly honest with himself, maybe the absence started to form before they even set foot on that ship.

    _____

    Four instances where the family sees Leo coming back to them.

    Summary

    Donnie is sure his new invention is perfectly safe. Leo would prefer to test it on himself first rather than Donnie. Now, the brothers have to figure out how to fix this whole confusing situation.

    Summary

    LOOP: 237
    FATALITIES: 238
    TURTLES CONSCIOUS: 3

    Leo tipped backward, letting the cool air of the night wash over his warm skin. He’d caught himself threatening to fall forward, probably straight into some diner’s dumpster, and taken the chance to right himself before he did something so completely ridiculous. Sensei would blow a fuse if he saw that. After all the drills he’d had Leo run through from such a young age, one would think that he’d retain one or two of them, especially in such a low-stakes environment.

    He shook his head, amused at the thought. He could probably recite the very Space Heroes episode he’d watched the day that his father first taught him the importance of his balance, yet the information all but disappeared from him now.

    It was weird how the brain retained memories. He supposed it had to do with their bases. Too bland, and they’d never stand out against the sea of all that came before them. Too eye-catching, and he’d never move past them. They had to be just right, just the correct blend of both for the mind to keep them.


    or, in an ironic turn of events, the only one unable to remember the time loop that always ends with Leo’s death is Leo.

    Summary

    Don clicked his tongue, “Oh, this is because you’ve been reading that Vietnam POW book, isn’t it?”
    “Ah geez, it’s The Art of War all over again….” Raph groaned.
    “Yes, and that is absolutely not a bad thing, Raph. We use Sun Tzu’s tactics all the time, because they work.” Leo defended.
    “I’m not really sure the U.S. Code of Conduct applies to mutant turtles…” Don piped up again.

    OR: Inspired by the interrogation survival tactics in his book, Leo decides to teach his brothers some super serious, potentially life-saving techniques. Too bad his brothers are the worst.
