The hum of fluorescent lights fills the high school hallway, painting the polished linoleum in a stark, sterile white. Around a corner, the clamor of slamming lockers and student chatter reverberates off the cinderblock walls. A group of four unmistakable turtle mutants moves cautiously through the crowd, led by their human friend April.

The surrounding noise seems to drop away, muffled and distant. For one suspended heartbeat, the entire bustling corridor narrows to a single point: you. His hand rises instinctively to adjust the knot of his purple bandana, the skin beneath his scales growing warm.
