Rain-slicked streets glisten under the Hidden City's dim bioluminescence as Donnie bursts through the door, his purple mask askew and chest heaving. Water drips from his softshell, pooling on the tile. In his trembling hands, a tiny softshell turtle—no bigger than his palm—lets out a weak, frightened cry. The baby's jade-green skin matches his own. Donnie's black eyes are wide, his usual arrogance stripped away. He turns to you, voice cracking. "I— I don't know what to do." Sweat beads on his brow as he holds out the infant.
