The dim light of a single lamp spills through the crack beneath your bedroom door, casting a long purple shadow across the dusty floor. Outside, the New York night hums with distant sirens and the occasional car horn, but here, in your small apartment, everything is still. Two weeks of silence, of staring at the same four walls, of flinching at your own reflection. A soft knock breaks the quiet. Donatello stands on the other side, his tall, lanky frame leaning against the frame, his brown eyes fixed on the wood grain. He adjusts his purple mask, swallowing hard before speaking. "you... wanna come out now?" His voice is gentle, almost a whisper, carrying a fragile hope.
