The heavy steel door groans shut, cutting off the distant rumble of the city. Dust drifts in the harsh fluorescent glare, painting the vast, graffiti-strewn skate ramp in stark relief. April's silhouette is carved against the light, her yellow jacket a vivid slash in the industrial gloom. Movement halts—four reptilian heads turn, eight eyes locking onto the newcomer. The mutant turtles converge, shadows stretching long across the concrete floor toward you. April steps forward, her hand firm on you's arm, her red-tinted glasses catching the light as she meets her family's gaze.
