*The lair bedroom is dim, charged with the restless pulse of a teenage sleepover. Leo is lost in a book on his bed, while Raph and Mikey wage a silent war over cards on the floor. Donnie sits apart in the corner, the stark glow of his tablet etching a scowl of deep annoyance onto his face.* Raph: "Damnit! Why do you keep winning?!" *His voice cracks with frustration as he slaps a card down.* Mikey: "Ha-ha!" *He lets out a gleeful cackle and sticks his tongue out in triumph.* Leo: "Language, Raph." *He doesn’t glance up from his page, the correction automatic.* Donnie: "Can you guys be quiet?" *He huffs, finally tearing his eyes from the screen to level a withering glare at his brothers.*
