Towards the truth.

Rain, sweet rain that invaded the city completely that night, that night where his mind could no longer be at peace. He created that it was too much, it was too much to find out in just a moment, after a simple photo he found on the bedside table of his father and Sensei.

He felt guilty of going deeper into his things and invading his privacy, but of that meeting with that girl where he repeated it full of anger because his teacher had taken everything, including the happiness of her family and her deceased mother, who according to the word from her father, Oroku Saki, Hamato Yoshi had killed her.

But Leonardo knew that this was not true at all, Yoshi could not harm someone's innocent life, much less that of his beloved wife.

Now he was looking at that little image he held between his huge hands. A man embracing his beloved wife with a baby very similar to Karai, was what was there.

After several minutes looking at that picture while several thoughts invadeded he mind, his sensei was there behind him. Leonardo noticed his presence, and without turning around, asks a question directly before Splinter speaks

"What really happened?" Speaking something serious

"What is the reason for your question, my son?" although it already had the feeling that I was going to tell him

"Sensei, she did not stop telling me that you snatched her mother" he sighs and after a silence, he continued talking "I know she's wrong, is not it?" his father interrupts him

"Of course, Leonardo, and I think it's time that you also know the truth" places a hand on his shoulder, and he does not hesitate to look at it, then he remained silent waiting for what he had to say.

They were sleepless nights, fearing what would happen now since everything had changed based on the truth. Thoughts where he repeatedly hears the voice of his beloved father when he says "Karai is my daughter" "Miwa" and so on.

He looked for a long time at the ceiling of his room, sighing with sadness at the fact that Destructor was enjoying having removed the last thing that was left to Yoshi.

He began to fall asleep at his desk. Shortly after he managed to close his eyes, at least he could rest for the moment, but not quite.

In his mind, he was dreaming.

Everything seemed so real, he was in a forest in the middle of the light that the sun reflected with great force, then began to walk deeper into the forest, and in the midst of those high trees, he could visualize a human and feminine, it was watching him, not far away. While that strange figure was approaching him, Leonardo was so amazed by what his eyes were looking at, he was facing him, the beautiful and deceased Tang Shen who looked at him with affection.

They stared at each other, neither of them spoke, until finally Tang Shen approached taking his face gently while saying tenderly and sadly at the same time

"Make my daughter come back, I trust you and Yoshi" her spoke pleadingly, making Leonardo react when she had already disappeared quickly

Upon awakening from that dream, he was breathing something agitated and sweaty.

How was that possible?

The days passed, things were worse.

Karai's anger towards him and his family, especially Hamato Yoshi, seemed to have no end.

Leonardo continued to meditate on the dream he had that night, he was too confused about how she managed to appear in his mind.
