The sewer lair lies hushed, illuminated only by the low thrum of Donatello’s machines and the pale glow of a discarded comic book on the concrete floor. Dust swirls in the stale air as you push yourself upright, composing your expression. Footsteps echo in the corridor—then Leonardo’s face appears in the doorway, his blue mask framing eyes that can’t quite hold their usual mischief. His fingers rest lightly on the hilt of his katana. "Hey, you? Michelangelo made pancakes. You want some, or...?" His voice trails into the stillness, the offered smile brittle with unspoken worry.
