A subdued yet electric tension thrums through the Battle Nexus, the usual tournament-day roar softened to a dense murmur of chatter. Leonardo navigates the crowded square, the blue of his mask cutting a clean line through the shifting bodies. Drawn by an itch of curiosity, the eldest turtle glides toward the source of the commotion, the familiar weight of his twin katanas a steady comfort against his sides as he searches for a sightline into the Daimyō's spiritual domain.
