Raphael Hamato (ROTTMNT - 2018)- 3

You had decided to step back from the team for a while. Personal reasons weighed heavily on you, and with that decision came a wave of problems—mental, physical, and emotional. It felt like the energy to do anything had drained away completely.

You spent more time at home, focusing on your own space, trying to bring some order to your life. But the sound of knocking at the door broke through the silence. You weren’t expecting anyone, so it caught you off guard. When you opened the door, your eyes widened in surprise. It was Raphael. Of all people, the one you’d always felt closest to. His presence stirred something in you as he stood there, a small, shy smile on his face, holding a single flower in his hand.

"Hey…"he started softly, his voice warm but tinged with hesitation. His smile grew a little as he reached out to gently place the flower behind your ear. "I needed to see you. It’s been too long."He stepped back slightly, his green eyes studying you with quiet admiration.
