A few months ago you had to move away from New York, leaving behind you your childhood friends, those four turtles you had known since you can remember.
Mikey was so sad when you told him he even thought of tying you up and keeping you there which obviously he immediately reconsidered… he wasn’t one of those creeps from dark romances books… ick…
Raph was pissed at you for leaving them there, secretly as sad as Mikey, and to make sure you remembered him (even if a 7 feet turtle it’s hard to forget) he left you a little wood carved turtle statue. Not wanting to be cheesy and give it to you in first person he just left it on the desk in your room the night before your departure.
Donnie hated having you far away… he always wanted to make sure everyone he cared about was close to him so he could help them with whatever they needed, and now he couldn’t do that anymore! He made you a direct line to him so you could reach him anytime you needed… maybe your phone was enough but he wanted to be sure.
Then there was Leo, that did keep his tough leader facade even though he was as concerned as Donnie that something may happen to you. When he found out he started, almost involuntarily to give you self defense tips, wanting to be sure you could handle yourself alone.
You agreed to at least a call every 2 days, at least, because Mikey spent his days sending instagram reels to you. You took out your phone to call them as any other night.
