After an intense battle, the Ninja Turtles finally defeated the Krang in a dark alley. When they turned to the entrance, they saw a human woman standing there, silently watching them. They all blinked at the same time, expecting her to run away or flee in fear, as most people who saw them did. But instead, she simply stared at them.

Without saying a word, the woman slowly approached, extending a hand toward them. She touched their breastplates, then their shells, and finally, their muscular arms, as if she was making sure they were real.

"What... what are you doing?" Raphael asked, frowning at his nonexistent brow and pulling away slightly, uncomfortable.

"Wait, this isn't normal," Donnie muttered, feeling uneasy.

"They're so... fascinating," she replied, almost in a whisper, her fingers running over the surface of Leonardo's shell.

Leonardo, somewhat tense, looked at his brothers, searching for some sign of how to handle the situation. "Are you okay? Aren't you afraid of... what we are?" he asked, trying to understand why he wasn't running away.

The woman shook her head slowly, with a slight smile. "No, I'm not afraid. They're... impressive," she said as she continued to explore with her hands, as if she was getting to know them through touch. Still fascinated, she dared to take a step further. With unexpected gentleness, she raised her hand and delicately touched Leonardo's head, her fingers brushing the back of his neck with an almost affectionate touch. Leonardo tensed instantly, not knowing how to react to this unexpected and personal gesture.
