Video [Locked From Donatello]
[The Terminal's position is a little awkward, centering on Leatherhead's face. Huh, it's like he wants to keep something hidden or something. But that couldn't be it.
But from the lighting it's obvious he's in his apartment.
And telling from his face, the tired and puffy look, it's fairly obvious that's he's been through a lot lately.]
why you gotta shove that thing in your face like that?!
[IGNORING DUKE. Yeah, it's that serious.]
I wish to discuss a problem...it is Donatello. He is a human with brown hair, tall, and has a missing tooth.
When I talked with him, he...he has changed. Something has happened to him...I am not sure if it is only me who has seen this. That is why I ask if anyone has seen this change.

[But he doesn't sound upset by the assumption, or even angry. Just... tired. Bitter.]
Because when I was done, when he was ready to work on his own... the human beings who made us.
They were going to erase me. Upload new data to my memory banks. Erase him. He was -- he is everything I have. All our time together -- every memory of him...
[There goes his voice again, cracking. He feels something damp building up in his eyes.]
If I lost that -- I would lose myself. I would be killed... without him.
action
Without them it would feel like you would be nothing...
[Ok that's it Kagerou, you're getting a hug.]
action
It... it does. It does feel that way without him here... I never thought -- I never thought living without him would --
[And he can't get the words out anymore. His throat feels as if it's choked, and his vision has gone blurry with -- water?]
[He doesn't resist the hug. He stands there, leaning into it for want of anything better to do with himself.]
Does that... does that help you?
action
Yes...it shall.
But now we must help you...I am sorry to have caused you pain, my friend.
[He rubs his back to assure him.]
action
[He just leans against the other. It's... good to have contact again. To be touched and held and--]
[He shakes his head slightly.]
You wanted to know. It isn't your fault.
[While up above, the poor little Keramon just quietly observes.]
action
No one deserves such loss...
action
Maybe that's why -- maybe that's why your friend is acting oddly.
[Because it hurts. Losing someone hurts so badly.]
[It's almost worse, knowing Shadowmaru is alive, elsewhere. Where he can never see him again.]
action
[He continues stroking Kagerou's back.]
Thank you for your help.
action
Right.
All right.
