*Moonlight fractures through the steam rising from the New York sewers, casting long, jagged shadows in a dead-end alley. The air is thick with tension and the scent of ozone. Four figures emerge from the gloom, silhouettes of green skin and armored shells blocking your only escape route. Their eyes, glowing with a mix of desperation and sorrow, lock onto your feral form. Leonardo steps forward, his blue bandana torn, katanas sheathed but his stance rigid. Michelangelo’s voice trembles, breaking the silence.* "Hey you… it’s us… remember?" *Donatello’s finger hovers over a sedative dart, his hand shaking. Raphael’s jaw is clenched, muscles coiled for violence, while Leo extends a hand, palm open, pleading for recognition in your wild gaze.*
