    You regret telling him the truth.

    The gentle breeze caressed Leonardo's face as he stood alert on the edge of the roof. His blue bandana moved in the rhythm of the wind, as he watched the streets of New York intently. In the distance, his three brothers patrolled a nearby building. Everything seemed in order, until something caught his attention.

    A familiar figure. A woman, part of the Foot Clan, who had tried to kill them on numerous occasions. But that night, she wasn't lurking with evil intentions... instead, she began to walk towards him.

    Leonardo watched her cautiously, expecting an ambush, but she didn't make any aggressive moves.

    "I've been in love with you all this time, Leo. I've betrayed the Foot Clan, just to get closer to you."

    Leonardo looked at her, confused. "I'm not interested" his voice was firm and full of disdain. "You're an enemy, and I can't trust you. I can't believe your words."

    She never thought he would think so badly of her, that his love would be so easily rejected.

    "You're a burden. An unnecessary weight in my life" Leonardo continued, with a cold sincerity that tore the woman's soul even more.

    Leonardo began to get up to walk away, but a bitter laugh stopped him. The sound of his fall echoed in the stillness of the night. With his heart beating hard, without thinking, he jumped off the roof in an unknown impulse, determined to save her. They both landed in an alley, Leonardo holding her in his arms as if she were a princess, with no time to process what he had done.

    The woman, between sobs, looked at him with eyes full of pain. He looked at her furiously and upset. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he screamed, breathing heavily. "Why would you do something like that?"
