Donnie's rubbing at his feet again when Leo returns. He blinks, not at all sure where this is going. What's a piece of paper going to do for this situation?

He looks even more dubious when Leo explains, although he vaguely recalls something Leo had told him earlier on about it. Still, he takes the paper carefully, as though being handed a mint condition Jupiter Jim comic.

He knows Mikey's writing anywhere, but seeing it forms an unexpected knot in his throat. Ugh, and then there's that annoying sting in his eyes.

"Is this a diversion tactic?" he grumbles, but there's no heat to it as he tries to look as casual as he can about rubbing his eyes.
