[This explanation takes him by surprise, and despite himself, despite everything, he gives a wobbly smile] Well... yeah. Especially cause we didn't leave the sewer even more so back then. Me and Donnie used to be obsessed the most, but you know how it is, I just wanted to paint it and he was interested in why space was space and how. Leo promised he'd take there, and- and Raphie got me glow in the dark stars, when we were little and still shared one room.
Does your Raph still do that kind of stuff? It's really weird sometimes, finding out where the lines go and where they're colored in different.
Nah, we'd just reenact our favorite Jupiter Jim stories. You've seen our inspiration for space, or at least a few movies by now. I think most of our space obsession hinged on exploring it with Jupiter Jim himself. Or Atomic Lass...
[He sighs almost longingly, thinking of his earliest crush.]
Anyway, point being, this is all way beyond any of our expectations. And now that we're all here, it'd be a shame to just waste the opportunity!
[Donnie finally lets his hand drop away from Mikey as he sits back at the edge of his bean bag chair.]
I was here before everyone else was, so...it was hard, wondering if I'd ever see my brothers again, or if any of them might come here. But looking at what all there was to see here, and all these people I've met, it helped distract me from thinking about those things.
[Most of the time. It was still admittedly hard not to feel alone when you'd never been apart from your brothers for so long before.]
