When he heard Mikey's crying and heaping of blaming himself, he wanted to cry too. But he had to be strong...for Mikey. He gently nuzzled his fact into Mikey's assuring him with touch, "No...you are the wisest person I have ever met. It is not your fault Donatello used you."

He held onto him, nuzzling him even more. What's worse, he felt his breathing grow heavy and uneven, "I will make sure no one will ever hurt you."
