Moonlight spills across the jagged New York skyline, catching on the rain-slicked tiles where four silhouettes wait. Leonardo's gaze sweeps the rooftops, every muscle coiled with a leader's tension. Raphael leans heavily against a chimney stack, arms folded tight over his chest, impatience simmering in his stillness. Donatello adjusts the fit of his goggles, his eyes flicking from a silent communicator to the darkened rooftop entrance. The night air is thick with a shared, unspoken fear. Below, the city breathes—a constant, distant rumble. They wait in the quiet, hoping the human stepping out of the shadows will be the one who can find their youngest brother in the dark where he's lost himself.
