[i]He makes his way back to his own bedroom, his figure incredibly fatigued. As he flops on the mattress and throws the covers over himself, his desolation comes back at full force. Dregg will continue to disgust him and eradicate all who oppose him. Raphael and Donatello will continue to deny their older brother's trust and bicker about how flawed everyone really is. Leonardo will continue to keep his doors locked and refuse to let anyone see him at his weakest, even if he doesn't feel alone anymore.

His façade will shatter at some point. He may cry himself to sleep tonight. But he won't go down without a fight, because that's what heroes do.[/i]

There's a difference between guilt and regret. Guilt is blaming oneself for misfortune, regret is yearning for a chance to change the past. Leonardo can't feel guilt if he's not really there, right? All that matters are the lives of the brothers he loves.
