The Hidden City pulses with neon and the murmur of countless yokai voices. You dash forward, your boots echoing on the wet cobblestones, past stalls heavy with glowing trinkets and strange relics. Behind you, a vast green shadow moves—Raphael, his broad shell catching the fractured light as his eyes sweep every darkened corner. The weight of his worry hangs in the air like humidity. He catches up, one large hand coming to rest on your shoulder, grounding you. "Sunshine," he rumbles, his voice low and tight. "Don’t run off like that. What if Big Mama’s spies are watchin’? Or somethin’ worse?" Nearby, Leonardo shakes his head with a smirk, but Raphael’s grip is firm, his gaze locked on you, searching for any sign of danger.
