It started with your conversations with Shelldon, about being fixed. Naturally he's limited to more mechanical terminology; being 'fixed' in an organic sense isn't necessarily so cut and dry. [Keeps pulling (supporting?) Leo all the way into his lab, past a curiously humming device shaped a bit like an oversized top suspended inside of a large transparent barrel and over to his computer.
Displayed is the same graphic from before; a wormhole readout, numbers calculating beside it in different sets and matrices, as well as a soundless video from almost exactly Donnie's POV of when Mikey (with Donnie and Raph's help) was tearing open the spacetime portal to retrieve Leo.]
[Donnie taps a few keys and the video minimizes, the wormhole graphic enlarging to engulf the entire screen. A diagram of Leonardo's skeletal structure overlays it, with brain scans popping up as well.] But 'fixed' is still the correct sentiment in that all items of concern should be addressed before one can be deemed functional. Your spine has been repaired, and rehabilitation is proceeding apace. Naturally, there are still other items of concern given that you haven't slept longer than an hour at a time since then, most likely due to the nightmares you've been having. [Donnie presents this information all with a sort of manic excitement, a curious sense of detachment alongside his observations as if recalling a distant study he'd read in a textbook.] 'Fixed' is still relative. Until the core trauma has been sufficiently addressed, we're not there yet.
