I feel that out of everyone, Raph would be the most understanding of what Leo’s going through right now. I mean, how long did he have to be the responsible one, always looking out for his little brothers? And then lost them, only having himself to blame (OBVIOUSLY it wasn’t his fault, but guilt is a sticky thing)

He knows exactly what it’s like, knows exactly how hard it is to lose someone you’ve loved so deeply, someone—as Leo puts it above—you’ve “basically raised,” and then suddenly get them back. . . But it’s not the same person. Heck, Raph’s got three of those, Leo (almost) has it easy.

I actually had a hard time figuring out Raph’s reaction to Leo’s crash out for a hot second. I kept changing up what he would say, trying to figure out what Leo needed to hear in this moment.
