I'm fourteen. Fifteen, really. I've been here almost an Earth year so I think I'm allowed that much. ...but everyone else is like...suddenly two years or so down the timeline from what I know, and there's a huge gap of stuff they've gone through that I haven't so it's.... Just been weird. You know? Mikey's not supposed to be older than me.
At least one isn't.

We've always done a lot of stuff on our own. Well, I guess not alone. A lot of the time at least one other of us is along, but it's never been stuff like this. Dad usually stays at home watching TV.
[Sounds like Other!Mikey and the fam have had it pretty rough back there.]
...you're not wrong. I mean, I can't say I'm surprised. Everyone's always worried about me. I'm not big and strong like Raph. Not durable like Mikey or Leo. I just...want to prove I can do things too. I thought I'd be okay because I wasn't alone.
