The Lair was completely quiet. No noise echoing throughout the halls or anything. With near everyone asleep, it was to be expected. However, one turtle was awake.
He peaked into his brothers' rooms, as he did every night. It was a ritual that allowed him to fall asleep each night.

Raphael held Corn close to his chest as they shared something intimate that his brother didn't have.
But Leo pushed aside his petty feelings. Raphael was happy, and that was enough.
