You really bloody got to admire how wise Splinter is in this one!

I mean, when Karai came to him, and stood there right in front of him, he could have reacted a million ways.

And what does he do?

he doesn't try to fend of himself or take owner ship of her at all, he very simply, shows her what-ever items he got to show her the truth, and then let her arrive at her own conclusions.

never ever does he say. "You must." or. "You should be." or. "you should do this." or "You must know know this." or. "This is who you really are."

He respects her as her own person! He lets her be her own person and even advices her to make up her own mind about herself.
He leave it all... to her.

Not for one second trying to tell her what to do, or take ownership of her, or turn her into some-thing she isn't, he just lets her be, accepts her exactly for who she in this situation right now, and gives her that room to make up her own mind about matters, arrive at her own conclusions and act on her own as her own person.

Not Miwa, not Karai, her own person. he even respects her enough to not adress her as "Miwa." he does that ones when he sees her at first, probably because he is so shocked, but when he talks to her directly, he calls her Karai, because he acknowledges that's her name, nothing else.

And beforehand he also clearly stated.
"Maybe she'll come to me, maybe she wont."
Clearly indicating, he is never going to force her, he is going to let her make her own choices, and learn her own lessons, as her own person, not merely his daughter.

Man, this is why Splinter is wise... so wise.

And if she returns, there is no doubt that Splinter will quietly accept her and welcome her as her own person.

Which, Raph i'm sorry bud, but I know not even you would go against Splinters wishes in these matters.
I can see why you would be suspeciouse but.. you're out voted by far.
