The minute Roan's body had been brought into EdgePort, most people refused to work because it felt unreal that he had taken his life. Without his presence, it felt empty and haunting.

His death couldn't be a main priority, though-- everyone needed to move past it as best they could and focus on Sam coming back to the community.

The only person this affected most was Zayn. He became extremely furious and his anger builtup inside his corelike a child playing with blocks and his was ready to blow upon anyone that came to knock over his tower of wooden blocks. He just became mad at the world and he had the right to be. zayn wants to honor his two deceased friends by defeating Sam and living a real life for them. For now, he needed his space.

Shado and Mikey cleaned out Roan's tent and Patience chose to staying Raph and Kitty's tent since she no longer had her boyfriend with her. Roan's cot had been folded up and his tent wastaken down in just ten minutes.

Then there is Vincent. She thought this wasn't a great time to make amends but it had to be done before Sam came back. As she came up to him, Vv noticed that Raph looked better than yesterday because he got the rest he needed. Raphael is currently cleaning his gun outside of his tent, unbothered while sitting on one ofthose nasty lawn chairs. Vincent spoke out. "You gotta minute?"

Rolling his eyes at the sight of her, Raph set his weapon down on the table outside the tent with a greasy ray and faces Vv in his chair. "Yes?" He sounded like Vv was bothering him, but she didn't care the slightest.

She scoffed at his tone and begins the conversation. "I, uh, I wanted to apologize." Vv was nervous, stuffing her hands, flesh and bionic into her pockets and scuffing the ground with her right foot.

Raphael had a feeling why she was apologizing. "Apologizing?"

Vincent shrugged at him. "For yelling and, you know..."

"No, Vincent." He shook his head at her. "I thought about that last night and I was wrong--I got angry, okay? It's one of the things I'm good at. Whatever I said about you, Duke, and Donnie, I never should have said it. My brother went through a lot of sh*t and so did you and Duke. My anger is no excuse. You guys do deserve to be here." He paused, his eyes kind and gentle. "So, I am sorry."

"Yeah... but I did the exact same thing." Vv said, looking into his hazel eyes behind his red mask that is dyed in black ash. "I got angry, too. Plus, you just thought you were protecting the ones you love."

Raph can clearly remember the argument.. "We were just defending our loved ones, you're right. You were right about some things, though. If Donnie didn't create his second personality then he wouldn't be here. And he does get a lot done here for a shy guy. I never would have seen my brother again and because of you, I have you to thank for getting him, Osa, and Amber here."

Vv shook her head. "You would have done the same for me if Duke had gone missing." She said.

The mutant turtle sighed. "Look, you got a lot on your plate. You got a kid on the way and we got a war to win. Don't worry so much about what happened, okay? We're square." He smiled at her, hoping that he can control himself better than last time.

"True." Vincent smiles at Raphael. "But you already have a kid. I think you have a little more on your plate than I do." She said sarcastically.

Raph gave one of his low chuckles. "Donnie and Osa are watching Harlow for me. He and I made up yesterday... hopefully that'll bring your spirits up."
