[Maybe they wouldn’t have, but now they have. They’re involved in his life. Donnie built him a crutch; Leo hugged him after the nightmare room. It’s hard to just drop someone after all that.]
He told me he doesn’t want to hurt innocent people. And… I don’t know how much you saw in that room, but… he’s torturing himself over this. And I believe him, I don’t think he’d make the same choice the second time, but…
[But he did it before. Being sorry doesn’t bring back the people he killed.
Is it on them to do something about it? Mercy isn’t really theirs to give here, but neither is justice. And that just makes it more confusing. Nothing about this situation is as clear cut as the Krang or the Shredder.
Leo slides to the floor and lets his head fall back against the wall.]
Letting him go didn’t feel right… but we need to be sure what our answer is. I don’t think this is something we can change our minds on later.
[If they cut him off, they can’t undo that. But if they don’t cut him off now, and then do it in the future, when he’s not prepared like he is now… That would be so much worse.]
