So eventually, he sends a message to Leonardo, the turtle he trusts the most besides his own partner.]
L-Leonardo...?
... D-Don is s-safe. He... h-he is in the apartment next to mine...
I-I believe he has s-some kind of... head i-injury. M-Migraine, perhaps. But he is l-lucid and s-safe...
I... w-wouldn't recommend moving him f-for now. I... I just thought that you and the rest of your f-family would... want to kn-know where he is.
Reply
He manages to sound calm when he finally does respond. Almost too calm, like it's forced.]
If he doesn't have any outward injuries to his head, it's probably just a migraine. [He's relieved to hear at least one of his brothers is with someone he knows.]
Reply
He tries to breathe.]
Y-Yes... migraine. He's... he seems b-better now, at least...
...
I-I know it isn't a-any of our faults, Leonardo.
B-But... I-I... I apologize for this... e-entire week.
I... I remember all of it. A-At least, my... f-false life... [It may be very obvious that the weight of these memories is hurting Robert even now that he's managed to scrawl most of them down somewhere safe, where he won't lose the data they provided.]
... A-At any rate. If... if you would like, you are f-free to come to Community Building Th-Three and see Don... S-Second room on the first f-floor. Nobody else l-lives on the floor... [That last part is meant to be reassuring, because Robert knows Leo isn't comfortable with strangers.]
Reply
Oh Robert, you sound like him with the apologizing.]
It's all right. It's not your fault. It's the malnosso's fault. [Screwing with people's lives and heads like this. There's just a bit of anger leaking into his tone. He remembers it all too. Even if some of them are pleasant, he can't let himself think more on them. It wasn't real.]
Thanks...I'll come by in a while. [Maybe. It depends on how he's feeling too.]
Reply
The bloody Malnosso... I have no idea why they would even do this. How could this be in the least helpful in any way? [He doesn't really raise his voice, but Leo should hear the note of anger in his voice just as easily.]
... I a-appreciate it, Leonardo.
Thank you, too.

Because they can. We're just test subjects to them. They messed with people's emotions in February. Force us to fight their war. Bring us from our worlds against our wills. The extent of their capabilities is unknown.
Welcome. I'll try to be by...but I have a lot on my mind at the moment. [The biggest of which is waking up in bed next to his arch enemy. That's all kinds of wrong.]
Reply
... It's disgusting. This is not science. This is just... insanity.
[He sighs frustratedly.]
... You c-could hardly be blamed. So much about this scenario is just... nearly unbearable.
[He would offer the chance for Leo to talk to someone, but... Leo probably doesn't want to share, and Robert doesn't want to impose. So he doesn't.]
Reply
Agreed. Just like most scientists I've run into. [There's a pause.] Present company excepted of course.
Thanks. [No, he won't talk to Robert. He trusts him to an extent, but he's not known him nearly long enough for Leo to trust him that much.]
Reply
... Thank you for the exemption. I... I assure you that anybody like this is hardly worthy of the title of "scientist". No respectable scientist would ever allow ethics to be superseded. One can't even get accurate data that way.
[It's alright; Robert certainly understands the problem of trusting somebody you don't know well enough...]
... I wish there was some way for us to... to stop it from happening against our will... but there seems to be little to no way to resist.
Reply
You haven't met the scientists I've run into...be thankful you haven't.
[The trust thing might change somewhere down the road though.]
That's controlled by the Malnosso and only the Malnosso.
Reply
... All I can say is that I would understand why your family would be frightened of them. [Robert makes a disgusted sound.] The Malnosso are barbarians of the utmost degree.
And the most shameful thing is that their technology could be used for such positive purposes if only they had any sanity, sense or reason... unfortunately for us, all three of those principles seem to be thoroughly discarded.
... At any rate... if there is anything more I can do for you, I would be glad to. But I understand if... if there isn't. [There's too much that's happened to all of them for Robert to be able to fix it. All he can do is rationalize things for himself.]
Reply
[Robert's helped more than he knows, just by letting Leo vent]
Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. Just...take care of Donny.
Reply
[And with that, Robert will go tend to Don, so that Don will be strong enough to get home later.]
...
If you need or want anything else, please feel free to contact me again.

I'll keep that in mind. I won't be long, and I have my journal if something comes up.
