"Yes!" Mikey says, a little too loudly, throwing his arms up. "I mean, you don't have to lie to him, but he's already been in a really bad spot. You could have given him something."
He paces around some more and his hands grab for his nunchucks just for something to fiddle with only to remember he purposefully left them behind.
"No one's asking you to fix the world, but you don't have to make it worse. Wasn't it as much of a lie to tell him that things are only going to get worse? You don't know that. You can't know that."
He warps his arms around himself, and focuses in on a corner of the room so he doesn't have to look at Rung.
"Donnie came to you for help and what he got was more panic and anxiety and fear and if I hadn't been there to help him come back down I--" He didn't think Donnie would do anything too... rash, but just the idea of him suffering through that alone is enough to have Mikey feeling sick.
His voice drops a little.
"How is that helping anybody? Real or true or whatever? Why not give a little bit of hope for once? Donnie does enough creating bad thoughts on his own."
