(Donnie has a dream that leaves him shaken, so he reluctantly goes to Raph for comfort/reassurance) (song lyrics from "Everything I Wanted" by Billie Eillish)
(faint footsteps nearing Raphael's room)
(Scared breathing)
"Don? You alright bud?"
"I- I had— I had a dream. . ."
"Oh, come on buddy, you can tell me about it if you want."
". . . Alright. ."
(Hesitant footsteps)
(Donnie sits down)
(Raph pulls him into his lap, close to his plastron for comfort)

(Shaky deep breath)
"I had a dream. . .
I got everything I wanted—
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest
It might've been a nightmare,
To anyone who might care—"
Thought I could fly
So I stepped off the Golden,
Nobody cried
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care. . .
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted—
"But when I wake up, I see—"
You with me.
And you say;
"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you.
Don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to
If I could change the way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
'They don't deserve you'. ."
"I tried to scream. .
But my head was underwater—"
(Shaky breath)
"They called me weak. .
Like I'm not just somebody's brother—
It could've been a nightmare. . .
But it felt like they were right there. .
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago-
But I don't wanna let anybody know
'Cause everybody wants something from me now—
And I don't wanna let 'em down. . ."
I had a dream:
I got everything I wanted. . . .
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say;
"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to
If I could change the way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
'They don't deserve you'. . ."
If I knew it all then, would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
". . . . If I knew it all then, would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?"
. . .
"They'd say they're gonna help you, and they're always here for you, Don." The snapper smiled, gently rocking the latter in his lap and giving reassuring pats.
"We all are."
