[Donnie sinks down onto the table like a puppet whose strings have been cut.
He doesn't want to hear those things. Especially not after seeing his own brothers being controlled by someone else. The reminder makes him feel sick, and he loosens his arms enough to draw his legs in close, a haunted expression on his face.
Whatever he'd thought they might talk about, this isn't at all what he'd expected.]
But what if I can't?!
[He feels that annoyingly familiar prickle in his eyes, which only makes him tense up even tighter.]
It seems like all I've been getting are lucky breaks, and if it weren't for some weird intervention or another, things would've gone so much different! Anemone would have been dead! My brothers would've been taken by a blood mage if they weren't just made to kill each other or me instead!
[His sight blurs as he buries his face against his knees.]
I saved Anemone with Solus's gauntlets but she's still linked to Megatronus somehow.
My brother's got some weird lantern attached to him and I think it's my fault he's stuck with it.
And Mikey-
Nothing should ever happen to Mikey but she...she did something and I don't know how bad it is...
