"What do you mean he's gone?!" "Well, normally when I wake up, I would find Leo in the living room watching Space Heroes alone, but this time, he wasn't here, then when I came to his room, he wasn't there either." "We have to find him!" "And you will..."
Came in a voice, it was their father.
"Sensei! We have to find Leo!" "Ikimasu("GO" in japanese), find him and continue your patrol, but there is something you don't understand."
Upon hearing this, the brothers were confused.
"W-what do you mean Sensei?" "There is something you don't understand why Leonardo ran off." "What is it?" "Do you really want to know?" "Yeah..." "Follow me, to the dojo."
They followed their master behind him.
"So? Why did he went out? How did you know?" "I saw him leave with tears in his eyes." "Tears? Was he crying?" "But Leo NEVER cries, right?" "He cries a lot, you just haven't seen him cry before." "But why was he crying?" "Life..." "Life? I don't get it..." "Life is filled with different emotions and circumstances, Leonardo HATED the way he lives, but he really loves you, brothers, me and other friends, but he HATED himself." "Why in the world would he hate himself and his own life except his family and friends?" "Rejects." "W-what?" "Rejects Raphael." "Rejects? Does he feel rejected?" "Yes Michelangelo." "Why?" "(Sigh) he feels rejected from the three that he loves the most." "3? Was that... Us?" "Yes." "Why does he feel rejected because of us?" "I'll explain with pictures, hang on, let me get them."
Splinter stood up and took the pictures.

"Doesn't make sense that Leo is the one holding us... Isn't it supposed to be Raph? He is the strongest." "It makes sense, Donatello, he is the oldest among all of you, so he should carry all of you, like when he leads your team." "Oh yeah."

"That's it?" "Yes, your most recent is very sad to see." "Can we atleast see it?" "Well, to tell you, I have no picture of it but all of you were happy and Leonardo was not included." "Why wasn't he there?" "He feels left out."
