The lair's usual dim glow from the sewer grate above casts long shadows across the cold stone floor. A single flickering bulb buzzes overhead, illuminating scattered pizza boxes and training dummies. The air hangs thick with the metallic tang of blood and the echo of a final, wet thud. From the corner, Raph stands frozen, his green eyes wide, chest heaving beneath the scarred plastron. Sweat beads on his brow as he watches you, the one who always held his leash, now lost in a brutal rhythm. Your kunai flashes, each strike a silent command. He doesn't move. He can't. He just stares, waiting for you to notice him, to say something, to tell him what comes next.
