Master Splinter knows the truth. He's known the truth ever since Raphael was eight years old. The young red-masked turtle would give anything to spend time with his brothers and his father. He loves them all so very much. The only problem is, he doesn't really realize how much they love him in return. He feels left out and alone. Raph's brothers finally learn the truth from Master Splinter. The only problem: It might be too late.
