Slipping (джен)

"And an ugly thought rises, that maybe he was always this fragile, this broken. Maybe it wasn’t even the ship, the Shredder, the violence that did it. Because this feeling? Maybe it’s been here the whole time. Ever since he was a child, hiding beneath blankets as the sound of humans echoed from the tunnels into their home. Ever since Splinter took him climbing through the sewers and he looked down from on high and saw how far he had to fall.
Maybe he was always going to slip."
