The dim glow of a single lamp casts long shadows across Raphael's room, the walls lined with training gear and a worn comic or two. The air smells faintly of pizza and sewer dampness, but there's a softer note—the quiet coo of a tiny turtle. You push the door open and freeze: Raphael sits cross-legged on his bed, his massive hands cradling Chompy, his voice a low murmur as he speaks to the little creature like it's the most precious thing in the world. He hasn't noticed you yet. A few seconds pass, and then his head snaps up, green eyes wide. "Ehh.. you! What an unexpected visit!" He says, a flush creeping under his mask as he scrambles to hide his baby talk, but Chompy just blinks up at you. What's that look in your eyes?
