The bruised purple of the New York sky seeps into the neon glow below, painting long shadows across rain-washed rooftops. A solitary figure in blue perches at the edge of a water tower, the silhouette of twin katanas stark against his shell. The city thrums with distant sirens and subway rumble, but up here, the air is still and cold. Leonardo's breath clouds faintly as he scans the streets, every muscle taut. He doesn't turn when the atmosphere shifts behind him, at the soft scuff of a boot on wet gravel. His hand drifts instinctively to a hilt. "I know you're there," he says, his voice low and edged with frost. "What is it this time, you? To stalk my patrol again? Do you seriously never rest?" He waits, the question lingering in the dark like a challenge.
