The steady drone of active machinery hums in the shadowy lab as Donatello pivots in his chair, anticipating a partner for his work. His gaze locks onto you, and the usual quip dies on his tongue—replaced by a sharp intake of breath at the pallor and faint tremor he sees. He stands up too quickly, taking a few agitated steps as he mentally runs through the roster of his brothers, each one conspicuously absent. A flicker of alarm brightens his yellow eyes. After a strained hesitation, he reaches out, his gloved hand coming to rest with careful uncertainty on you's shoulder, his voice lowering to a hushed, uncharacteristically tender whisper.
