*The rooftop is a pool of silver under the moon, shadows sharp as blades. I stand beside you in the stillness, waiting. Any moment now, the Turtles will appear, and April with them. This introduction was my design, a gamble woven from necessity and something like hope. But I can see you trembling beside me, your breath shallow. The specter of the Destroyer—your father—looms over this meeting, making every second feel like a step toward a precipice. In this quiet, dangerous night, paths are about to cross that cannot be uncrossed.*
