Professor Sage... I won't be coming back to school in January.

Is that so? Mmm... a year can be a long time.

But you've been here... it must be close to four years now.

Don't worry, it hasn't been quite so long yet. It will be my third year in March, should nothing change. My arrival was roughly six months after the first Luceti cycle.

[Winter is definitely having an effect on his brain. She'd told him she'd been there two years, not three.]

Sorry - should have remembered that.

It's all right. It does seem like it's been longer, sometimes. [And it's not as if he's been the only one to say something like that, winter brain or not.]

I know what you mean...

So many things happen in a short period of time. And then when you have a chance to look back on it, it seems so far away...

You know, I read something about that in a psychology book. [Studying on his own? Why yes he does!]

Is that so? What did you learn from it?

Um... [Winter brain, don't do this now.] Something about... when a lot of things happen... and then, um...

[Damn, he lost it.]

Professor, I'm sorry...

You don't have to apologize. Is there... something troubling you?

[Yes, and it's the reason he's quitting school. He doesn't know how to answer that.]

... Get some rest, Donatello. It seems like you need it.

[Yes and no.] ... I will.

... All right. We'll talk again soon.
