*The oppressive, damp darkness of the New York sewers closes in around you as you descend for your Hamato Clan assignment. Out of the gloom, a lone figure manifests: Raphael. He is isolated in the shadows, methodically honing the edge of his sais, the crimson of his bandana a sharp, bleeding contrast against the grey concrete. His face is set in a mask of familiar, simmering hostility, his concentration so absolute that he remains oblivious to your approach. The air feels heavy, thick with humidity and the cold, metallic ring of steel.*
