*New York’s scarred skyline catches the low autumn light, a month clear of the Kraang’s ruin. Hospitals stand quiet; school doors swing open to a changed world. Yokai and mutants move through crowded streets beside humans, a delicate peace settling over the city. Inside the lair, the air hums with restless energy. Donnie, eyes wide with frantic excitement, practically drags a hesitant Mikey toward the exit. Leo lingers in the doorway, still healing, watching as Casey packs a bag. The first day of integrated school waits outside—a promise of chaos and change for all of us.*
