[After escaping from the unfamiliar apartment, where he had awoken curled up with Karai, he fled into the woods. He thought about heading for home, but he just wasn't ready for it. The first experiment to affect him, and it hit hard.
His family is everything to him. But with what seemed like the flip of a switch, he had it ripped out from under him. They were completely replaced. Different father, different brothers. He remembered his real brothers being around, but seeing them as only friends and strangers. There was also the dislike for Raph, the fact that he was a criminal, in some ninja gang, run by Splinter. He knew Don, Mikey and Raph still considered each other brothers in that world. He wonders why he was isolated. If they could stay brothers, why couldn't he? Then there was the whole aspect of thinking he was married to Karai, for over a year. These malnosso's really liked to screw with your mind, that was clear now. Playing with emotions he had long buried.
They really were capable of anything. He hates that there's nothing they can do to stop them.
After his conversation with Robert, he gives a frustrated sigh, and rubs at his eyes for a moment. At least he knows his brothers and Sensei are all right. Even if Raph has yet to check in. Maybe the hot-head got lucky and missed this whole mess.
Eventually he'll check in himself. They're probably back at the house, waiting for him to come back. But he can't. Not yet.]

I'm going to be a few days before I come home.
[As much as he wants to be home, he needs a chance to get his thoughts back together. He knows it wasn't real, but it still left him with a lot to deal with.]
