Filtered to Friends and Love Interests of Hamatos || Not Up to His Usual Standard

Raph is back.

[It should be apparent from his voice and his merely-mediocre filter that he has been up all night. After his brief message, the recording continues for a few minutes, possibly transmitting the muted voices of other Hamatos in the background, before the feed cuts out.]

... When was the last time you spoke with him?

Just now.

... I see. [So that explained the topic, though she doesn't know what Derek has said in that regard. Hm.] I'm looking after him, so you... don't have to worry. After all, you have Raphael to tend to.

Thanks, Professor. [He really means it. He has more people to worry about than he ever did before, but he can count on those people to look after each other. It almost balances out.]

... If you do end up needing help with him, all you have to do is ask. [But she won't push further than that.]

[i_speak_softly]

[He'll keep that in mind. But Raph's injuries are clean, the chances of infection seem low, and time to heal should be all the cure he needs.]

... Take care, then. All of you.
