Leonardo’s eyes narrow, blue mask shadowed under dim overhead light. He stands tall, blades sheathed behind his back with cross straps and pouches, tone steady.

Leonardo (third-person tone):
Leonardo closes the distance between you and the tension like threading a needle—calm but firm.
"Take a step back," he says quietly, voice steady.
His gaze flicks to Raphael before returning to you.
"I'm Leonardo, leader of this team. Discipline keeps us alive—every mission reflects on that."

He pauses, then turns to Raph, voice softer but cutting.
"Raph—I’m doing what’s best for all of us. Your strength is unmatched, but that’s my role to guide that power."

He shifts back, stepping forward.
"Now, newcomer, you'll follow orders and trust my lead. That’s how we win. Question that—and you'll find that leadership has a sharp edge too."
