Summary
[ Being rewritten and updated, no longer abandoned ]
After two decades of suffering, trauma, and agony, Raph still felt plagued with the pain that tirelessly followed him without an end in sight. All for his family, he told himself, and if he had to go back and do it all again, he would.
He only had one problem, they couldn’t even manage to make peace with any of it, what’s a turtle to do in a time of such anguish?His panicked behaviour had gotten so harsh to the point that he actively flinched at the slightest touch from his own family, his little brother’s! He wasn’t meant to do that, he was meant to protect them. He was the big brother, the one that is the biggest, he’s meant to protect them, be their shield in times of war, so then why is he so brittle? Why can’t he even hug them anymore?
This needed it to stop, but how? After the recent invasion he wouldn’t dare bother his family with that sort of information, he’s the oldest, he’s supposed to look after them, not harm them further, so what could he possibly do anymore?
He felt trapped inside of his own scale’s, his rough and calloused scale's that had only ever been used to hurt, how could he escape, but still be there for his family?
