The natural foolishness of people can often surprise us. It need not be supernatural.

I'm sorry to hear things don't seem to be improving, though. Did something else happen?

Considering he's a "genius" It feels like it should be supernaturally caused with how stupid he's acting.

I tried to talk to him, to try and figure out how we could fix things. I wanted to understand why he was so upset, since last time we talked he was emotional and grieving over Casey too.

Yeah, no, he's just doubled down on how I'm an idiot for not reading his mind. So he's moving out with Bucky once Casey has recovered.

Genius in other fields rarely translates into emotional intelligence. To develop the two requires very different efforts. They're not always mutually exclusive, but it can be hard for some to think it worth pursuing when other studies come more naturally.

This could be me making assumptions, but isn't that him doing exactly what he's accused you of? Choosing someone else over family.

It's ironic. He masked so well, for so long, now that he isn't bothering anymore, he's gotten... less aware of how to communicate? Less emotionally present? I don't know. I'm just frustrated. Okay, maybe just pissed off.

Apparently it's different with Bucky. Because Bucky needs him. Meanwhile, I'm 'choosing a stranger first', 'I trust a guy I barely know over my own twin', and how 'Maybe it would have been better if I just bled out' since I dared to bring you along to help.

I feel like I'm going insane right now.

He said all of that?

[Just because Caduceus was there? All he died was heal Donatello and then wander off for transportation.]

Different rules apply to you that don't apply to him, it seems.

[The more he dwells, the more upset he gets about the whole thing.

He loves Caduceus, but he isn't going to ruin the friendship. Even then, he doesn't feel ready to even entertain the idea of dating. He's not emotionally okay enough to even try.]

He did. He said some of it before when we came to rescue him, but he doubled down on all of it. I thought, maybe with time, he'd cool off. But, no. He's just dug in. He made up his damn mind.

Donnie also just keeps comparing you to Usagi. You're my friend, Caduceus. I'm not trying to get in your pants, even if my brother seems convinced otherwise. I don't understand why he thinks I'm a stupid whore.

I think the only way I'd make him happy is if I left him alone forever, or I just never had anyone else. What am I supposed to do?
