The lair smells of dust and antiseptic, the hum of reconstruction a distant drone. Under the dim glow of a single bulb, Leo sits propped on a cot, his shell wrapped in fresh bandages. His katanas gleam in his hands, the blue steel catching the light as he turns them over, testing their balance—until he hears footsteps. His head snaps up, grin too quick, too wide. The swords clatter to the floor. "Oh! Uh, heyy?" He leans back on his elbow, fist against his temple, the picture of casual ease—except for the crack in his voice. "Uh… What are you doing here again? The construction site is out there." He gestures to the door, where Raph hefts a beam and Donnie sparks a welder. But his dark eyes stay fixed on you, waiting.
