   Summary

   It’s been nearly five months since Leo was appointed leader. Five months, yet he and Raph are still fighting about it. It started off small, little jabs here and there, and it’s only gotten worse. Tonight, on patrol, is no different.

   Even with consequences for their arguing—their refusal to communicate or even cooperate with each other—it’s still no different.

   It makes no difference.

   And what happens is an accident, of course. But being an accident isn’t going to un-concuss Donnie. Nor is it going to stop their fighting, apparently.

   But that’s fine. It doesn’t bother Donnie, he swears. It’s fine.

   This is part of a larger series, but can technically be read as a standalone.
