[It takes Don a while to talk his family into letting him out of the house, but, as promised, as soon as he gets their grudging permission he heads to Community Building 7 to see Frederic.]

[He looks pretty beaten-up in general, but his injuries aren't bad. The worst is a neat bandage above his ankle. His energy is mostly recovered, and his mood is sober.]

Frederic... How are you doing?

[Action] i_speak_softly June 13 2011, 01:22:29 UTC

I wish I could, Frederic. But killing her flower wouldn't be a very good tribute.

[Action] refinedmaestro June 13 2011, 20:19:19 UTC

[He sighs then sets the flower down on a small table, perhaps it was time to say something.] Donatello, there is...something I have been hiding from you about Polka.

[Action] i_speak_softly June 13 2011, 21:13:07 UTC

... What?

[She was sent home a year ago, what could you possibly want to tell him now?]

[Action] refinedmaestro June 13 2011, 21:56:55 UTC

It's something I should have said a long time ago, but I never had the courage to say it. [He takes a deep breath in then out.] Polka and I were from different times in our world but not very much different. You see back home, I had a battle with her and our other friends. In her time, she had just jumped off the cliff that was behind us in the battle area we had. From there, I assume she and the others defeated me thus that is why she jumped and that was something I was trying to prevent. On the other hand in my time, things went...differently and many lives were lost.

[Action] i_speak_softly June 13 2011, 23:51:40 UTC

... Are you saying you're from different timelines in your world? That things didn't go the same way for both of you?

[Action] refinedmaestro June 14 2011, 01:04:44 UTC

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying.

[Action] i_speak_softly June 14 2011, 01:07:48 UTC

... Oh.

[He's had nightmares of discovering his brothers aren't really his brothers - but he's not sure what this has to do with Polka's flower.]

[Action] refinedmaestro June 14 2011, 06:32:53 UTC

I should simply come out with it, shouldn't I? In my time, Polka and the others are dead. And...it was me who ended their lives.

[He turns away and looks almost shameful.]

[Action] i_speak_softly June 14 2011, 11:29:50 UTC

What?! Why??

[Action] refinedmaestro June 14 2011, 12:17:25 UTC

I had my reasons, but that is the truth.

[Action] i_speak_softly June 14 2011, 15:00:24 UTC

Did... did Polka know?

[Action] refinedmaestro June 14 2011, 20:58:18 UTC

I never told her when she was here.

[Action] i_speak_softly June 14 2011, 22:31:51 UTC

Why are you telling me?

[Action] refinedmaestro June 14 2011, 22:43:11 UTC

You were Polka's friend as well as mine, I felt it was wrong to keep it from you.

[Action] i_speak_softly June 15 2011, 00:33:46 UTC

[Don remains silent. What is he supposed to say to a confession like that?]
