Mikey is angry. Angrier than he had been in a long time. In a way, it feels good. It's better than the fear and anxiety he's been feeling for a while.
He wants to scream. Rung is apologizing, but not really, not in the way Mikey wants him to, not for the things Mikey wants him to apologize for.
"This isn't about Anemone!" he yells. "It is, but... I mean." He lets out a frustrated noise and paces some more.
Rung smiles and Mikey isn't usually the one to react violently but he really wants to punch Rung in the face. What is there to smile about?
"We're kids," he finally says. Funny how he likes to bring that out when it's to his advantage. "We don't live as long as you, and maybe we haven't fought some war for millions of years, but we've had our own battles. And we're still here and even if Raph is--"
He chokes up a little and furiously rubs at his eyes. "You act like you did Donnie a favor, but what did you really do? He's worse than before, Annie is still fighting us thinking she's keeping us safe, and we're still stuck here, without our brother, without our dad, without our sister and best friend. All we have is each other and if you think we wouldn't tear the universe apart to protect that, then you haven't met us yet."
