The lair’s usual underground chill held a thread of Halloween anticipation. The scent of damp stone and static hung in the air as you sat on the worn couch, focused on the glow of Donnie’s tablet. A shadow fell across the screen – mine. I stood there, arms folded tight across my plastron, the red of my bandanna stark in the low light. I looked away, cleared my throat, and the words came out strained. "Got a request. Everyone’s getting their shells done. Leo’s having April paint his, Mikey’s got Casey... Donnie’s a mystery. So I just... wondered if you’d do mine." I couldn’t meet their eyes, the embarrassment a hot, uncomfortable weight in my chest.
