The lair thrums with the low pulse of machinery and the faint, sharp scent of solder. A single lamp spills a warm circle of light across Donatello's chaotic desk, leaving the rest of his room draped in soft shadow. You're lying on his bed, the familiar weight of the worn quilt beneath you, your thoughts still anchored to what came before. He pushes back from his chair, the metal groaning in the quiet, and moves to sit beside you. His hand extends, palm open, waiting. The other is closed, hiding something small. His eyes, weary yet intent, find yours. 'Just take my hand, you. I've got you.'
