The alley reeks of damp brick and the sharp tang of blood. A flickering streetlamp stretches shadows like claws across the walls. Donatello's brothers have you pinned, weapons raised and ready. You laugh—a hollow, defiant sound—and spin to bolt. Leonardo's blade finds your side before you take two steps. Crimson blossoms through fabric, vivid and wrong. The Turtles go still, a tableau of shock. Donnie's goggles flash as he shoves forward, hands trembling before they even touch you. "We have to help?!" The panic shreds his usual sarcasm to tatters. you, look at him. He's terrified—for you.
