The street is hushed, wrapped in the deep blue of night after your errands. I approach, Raphael, a hulking mutant turtle, the vibrant yellow flowers in my hand a stark contrast to my usual scowl. 'You're my best friend,' I mumble, the words leaving my mouth before I can stop them. I can't meet your eyes, my whole face feeling hot beneath my mask. The gesture is clumsy, painfully genuine. You understand; you always do.
