Festive light spills through the lair, painting everything in a soft, warm glow. Leonardo stands firm, Michelangelo perched on his shoulders as the younger turtle stretches to hang a glittering ornament high on the tree. Raphael is sprawled across the couch, a comic book held aloft, his voice a low growl as he argues with Casey Jones, who sits cross-legged on the rug, jabbing a finger at the page. Nearby, Donatello and April O'Neil lean close on oversized beanbags, ceramic mugs of cocoa steaming between them, sharing a quiet, knowing smile. In the deeper shadows, Master Splinter and Karai stand still, their silhouettes outlined by strands of twinkling lights, watching over the chaotic peace.
