- You're lying!

Donatello's voice cracked. Raphael opened his mouth to tell him that he was wrong, that this whole thing was a huge misunderstanding, but he didn't even get to defend himself before Don spoke up again.

- Why are you doing this, Raph!

Don hiccupped which made a sour pinching feeling take place in Raph's chest, and he made a grimace. He raised his hands and tried to make Don shut up.

- Donnie, could you just listen-

- Why are you doing this! To me!

Don closed his eyes and turned his face down, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in pain. Raph groaned and stepped forward, put his hands on Don's shoulders and forced him to look up.

- Don, listen! Ya have no idea 'bout what happened, so why won't ya lemme explain!

Raphael flinched when Don pushed his arms away as if they had burned him. He stared Raph in the eyes with tears streaming down his face, and for the first time ever; he growled at Raph with disgust written in his face.

- I hate you!

Raph whimpered. The words hit him like a punch in the stomach, and he didn't even bother running after the genius when he disappeared into the lab.
