Summary
“Michelangelo?”
Mikey’s head snaps up like a rubber band, so fast it hurts his neck. His father is standing in the doorway, whole and unharmed and strong. He tilts his head, taking in the probably dumb way Mikey is just standing there staring up at him.
He’s alive. In this moment, in this memory, he’s alive. But just a minute ago he was dying, he was choking on blood and then he was gone, and no matter how many times Mikey cried for him he didn’t come back.
Mikey’s chest feels like it’s closing around all his squishy insides like a fist. It’s really hard to breathe in a way that isn’t just desperate gulping gasps for air, so he holds his breath. It’s a good and useful thing that aquatic turtles can do it for a long time.
“I thought you and your brothers had left already,” the rat says mildly.
“We did? I mean, uh, yeah, we did,” Mikey says. He watches Splinter’s expression tighten in tiny inscrutable ways, and knows he didn’t do a very good job of sounding normal. So he clears his throat and finds a lopsided smile and tries again. “I just had to come back for something.”

"Yeah!! Well!" you fisted your hands in front of you, adopting a defensive posture as the two of you meandered down the pasta section, "You're! A dodecahedron! Ask me why!!"
"THAT'S VERY FLATTERING, BUT ACTUALLY, I AM A CYLINDER," Papyrus scoffed, though he was grinning playfully right back at you as he paused to turn his attention from the shelves beside him. "BUT I WILL INDULGE YOU... WHY AM I A DODECAHEDRON, HUMAN?"
"Because!! Imma DECK you!" you exclaimed, throwing your arms up and ramming into him lightly.

Summary
In her whiplash, she only manages a, “Captain…what are you saying?”
Curly smiles – apologetically again and just as hollow, slowly massaging the meat of his forearm with his other hand. In a dazed focus, Anya watches the pull of fabric, the ease with which the wrinkles fold and deepen, the suit too loose on him.
“I’m managing! I’m managing, really, it’s okay, it’s all okay,” Curly hurries to say, so reassuring as if the backs of Anya’s eyelids aren’t still stamped with the glimpse of what he’s shown her. “You– don’t need to worry. It’s just– it’s a bit difficult, Anya.”
———
[Curly comes to Anya with a perfectly reasonable request. No idea why she has to react the way she does :/ it’s not a big deal or anything]

SONIC 3 SPOILERS
“What’s going on?” Maria asked.
“I don’t know,” Shadow replied, getting off the bed and walking to the door. After hesitating, Shadow opened the door and followed the sounds down the hallway to the main entrance.
There were bolts of blue lighting dancing across the room, and guards went down left and right by something too fast for anyone to see. The guards fired into the room, panicked, but the blue blur of lighting was relentless and soon no one was left standing.
Shadow stood at the edge of the room, eyes and mouth agape as the blue blur finally stood still, standing over the unconscious guards. It was a hedgehog! It looked like–
“Shadow,” Maria breathed out, appearing beside Shadow. “He looks just like you.”

Summary
They’re barely home for an hour when Casey’s breath catches in his throat.
It’s sudden enough that he chokes mid-word and starts to cough, his body trying to clear its airway except that there isn’t any blockage there to dislodge. When he finally manages to suck in a breath that fills his lungs halfway, it rattles in with an audible reedy wheeze.
Maybe no one noticed, he thinks hysterically, and lifts his eyes to find his entire not-family staring at him from their various positions around the room.
