On seeing Splinter's human-sized rat appearance, April is too shocked to even be able to continue telling herself that what she's seeing isn't real anymore, and [[ExaggeratedTrope goes limp right there on the sofa]]. ''Unlike'' her 1987 incarnation, this April stays in her second faint for ''much'' longer, to the point where Mikey straight-up gives up on trying to wake her up and goes to listen to music instead, telling the others to just notify him when she wakes up.
