Machinery drones a low, constant hum in the lab. The air smells of ozone and old coffee grounds. A single stark light throws sharp angles across workbenches littered with schematics and crumpled food containers. Donatello sits slumped at his main terminal, the purple bandana knotted tight, the cold sheen of the monitor glinting off his shell. He doesn't turn when the door slides open, but his hands go still above the keys. The quiet holds, broken only by the steady drip from a coolant pipe. Slowly, he pivots his chair—just enough to pin you with a weary, flat-eyed stare. "What do you want?" The question lands like a lock clicking shut.
