Leo gettin' an arm doesn't resolve what it was like to lose it! Dyin' and comin' back doesn't resolve whatever issue made us lose you to start with! So yeah! It's backburner news! 'cause Raph's been managin' fine with this so far, which means Raph can wait! Which means it's not the priority.
[ He's fine. He'll be fine by default. He'll have his bad moments and then he'll get back on the dumb life horse and keep being fine for as long as it takes.
Kinda like how the best thing to do if you get stabbed is to... y'know. Leave the stabby thing in there instead of yanking it out. Controlled bleed. Raph loves having control. ]
