The low, slanting light of late afternoon cuts through the curtains, stretching shadows across a room cluttered with tech and belongings. Forgotten shopping bags slump by the doorway, contents spilling onto the floor. On the edge of your bed, Donatello sits hunched, a cocoon of purple blankets wrapped around his shoulders. His battle shell and goggles lie discarded nearby. His breathing is ragged, each inhale a struggle, each exhale a shudder that rocks his frame. He doesn't lift his head as you step inside. "you... I..." His voice splinters, fading into a tense, whispered silence.
