Thoughts of Raph: I'd love to take ya', right here, right now, rough, passionately, entwined in eternity. Those are my daydreams when I'm sitting in one of those dry and boring meetings. I can't wait for it to be over, that we can walk along side by side through the corridors of The Foot Corp again. After I canceled the flight to Japan I was so angry at myself. I was running – again! I didn't have the guts to search for ya'. Instead you found me! And when I heard your voice that day after all these years, I knew immediately it was not a figment of my imagination. When I hold ya' in my arms, so many memories came back, good and bad. It was as if somebody showed me a film of my past life, and of course of that night I left ya'... But nothing in this moment was as important as ya', I hold on to ya', so tight. I made the mistake to leave ya' and let go of the chance to be with ya'. So I knew I had only one shot and asked you to be my bodyguard. My answer to your question why I'd need one was real honesty. And so I had ya' by my side, day by day. I've missed our conversations about Ninjutsu, training techniques or just random stuff. I'm enjoying the warmth and your scent coming off of ya'. Your mysterious demeanor is very appealing. When I looked at your eyes always protected by the white eyelids, barely a smile on your face and always aware of a threat, I realized time had changed you. The time... Maybe things would look differently if I hadn't left ya that night. If I would have stood my ground against Splinter, if I'd told ya' how I feel. Would it have changed our life in a different way? - Possible! There are many possibilities how our future could have been. What I know now is the fact that I'm sitting here in this awful shareholders meeting, thinkin' about having sex with ya' while tryin' ta hide my boner. But it's not only about the physical part, but to posses ya' with my heart and soul is what I truly desire. But I can't... I haven't told ya' yet how I feel, because I'm not allowed. Maybe you'll never know... Because I am the new Shredder.
