(I'm SORRY I died- I just woke up from eternal death. I can't believe it's been more than 4 months!! I feel guilty- things are rough right now. I'm so sorry!

His hollow and bothered eyes gazed up at the beast carrying him, barely registering any action taken. Fuzzy, blurry, and most of all, colorless sight was the only vision he had; many of them having to do with the tears. The striped tiger had his brows twisted in a knot, the same with his lips. The only thing red's mind could register was a question out of curiosity; a rare emotion. And it pained the older one to hear it.

"Why are you helping me..?"

The thoughts slowly faded away to black, replaced by the current scene in front of him. That low, vibrant, and shattered voice swore to haunt the bigger one. The obvious hurt was no longer hiding there as the waterfall poured out of his scared eyes. The fear. The tiger's seen it countless times before, yet the other one's condition had an especial effect on him. Was it a relatable situation? Could it be the possibility of him feeling guilty about taking him away from his only family members? He couldn't figure. Hunched over the passed-out younger one on a chair, his mind pondered around all the reasons he felt guilty.

As much as being forced to go unconscious was twisted, the boy needed rest. Just recently they arrived back after a doctor's appointment; which was without permission. Going to the authorities, such as hospitals and police stations, was forbidden. Although, deep down he could sense this was the right thing to do. No fucks were given when they received suspicious looks from the whole crowd.

If he was being honest to himself, Raph reminded him of his sister..a lot. Brave, impulsive, and not the person to back down easily. Though that all changed when she...
He shook the memories away, leaning back to the chair. The process of how he ended up here, in this job, working with those sick bastards..was beyond difficult. The need for money to make a living sure made people do crazy stuff.

All of his thinking sessions were interrupted with a small raspy grunt coming from the turtle. The eyelids barely flickered, a firm knot forming on the forehead; with the energy TC doubted Raph would have. He was truly fascinating..but not in that kind of way. He could not just understand his boss using the kid for those purposes.

The emerald eyes slowly peeked open, staring ahead mindlessly, obvious that the mind was not ready to form any action yet. Though, that all changed into a fearful panic when his lids rolled up. Bouncing up against a wall, he tried to calm his rapid breathing.
Tigerclaw, surprisingly, felt...pity. What have they done to his pure mind...?

"Hey hey, calm your horses." Putting up the tough act, TC motioned Raph with his hands to calm down. Which was not a great idea. Ordering the hot-head to calm down always ended up in a fight, him claiming 'I AM calm!' which was to be expected. This time was no exception, although it all turned out to one hell of a mental breakdown.

Teary and rage fulfilled eyes of Raph loosened at the words, his jaw clenching his upper teeth. "C-Calm down!? How...How can I possibly calm d-down!? You...! You..." The raspy and croaked voice was barely audible, yet it seemed like thousands of screams at the same time. That was before he was thrown into a coughing fit. Nothing new to the tiger sitting in front of him. "Don't talk if you don't want to taste blood." He groaned, rubbing his temple.

Let us say Raph would not listen to him, even though he's been through a lot because of that. His gaze drifted up in a broken manner, staring at the larger one. "Just...Just kill me already! I-I can't take this anymore!" Trying to hide the fact his voice was cracking, he forced himself to look away. His arms unintentionally embraced himself, as if attempting to cover himself from danger.
