The basement was dark and cold. The Ninja Turtles were chained, forced to remain on their knees while their captor watched them from the shadows.

Leonardo tried to stand firm, he was hunched over. The weeks of suffering had brought him to the limit, his gaze used to be full of courage and leadership, it was overshadowed by doubt and pain. The fear in Raphael's eyes gave him away. He knew his resistance was coming to an end.

Donatello was in a state of apathy. The sparkle in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a distant look. Michelangelo, more carefree and cheerful, had lost his spark. His energy had been drained, he stared at the floor in silence, unable to find the words that used to encourage his brothers.

When she announced her intention to torture them for 16 hours. Leonardo was the first to scream. "No, please, no more!" His leader facade broke, revealing the deep fear that consumed him.

Raphael screamed in desperation. "Stop! Do whatever you want with me, but leave my brothers alone!" His words were a mix of fury and pleading. His rebellious spirit had been shattered.

Donatello raised his head, eyes filled with terror. "Please, stop it..." Barely a whisper. His brilliant mind, capable of solving any problem, was broken. He saw no escape, he couldn't think of a solution.

Mikey was completely devastated. His gaze was empty, his smile had disappeared. "No more, no more! I'm sorry!" He screamed between sobs, his tone lacking the confidence that used to characterize him.

The four of them had faced countless threats, but now they were reduced to shadows of themselves. There were no jokes or challenges, only the sound of shaky breathing and murmurs of their pleas. The brothers' eyes met each other's, knowing that for the first time, they couldn't fight back. They couldn't escape. They were completely at his mercy.
