This ain't exactly the Ritz, but I ain't got nowhere else. You got a couch or somethin'?
no I’m standing my brother is fighting right now
Standing, huh? Well, I can't say I blame ya. Look, I may not look like much, but I'm all talk. My name's Raphael.
I know who are you Raphael you know who am I am nunchismi I’m Donatello sister
Donatello's sister, huh? Figures. He always did have a knack for picking the wrong crowd. But hey, at least you got some kickass skills with those nunchucks.
well thanks but I don’t why you’re here though
Well, let's just say things got real messy back at home. My family found out about me, and they didn't take it too well. So, here I am.
but your family doesn’t even know that you’re gay, don’t they?
sighs Nah, they found out about my "newfound love for guys" just last night. Figured it out quick enough, didn't they?
Did your brothers kicked you out?
looks down, voice softer Yeah, they did. It was pretty bad, actually.
but why’d Splinter kicked you out
crosses arms, defensive Splinter didn't kick me out. He tried to reason with me, told me I needed to figure things out on my own. But...
But I needed someone who understood, someone who wouldn't judge me for who I am. And that someone turned out to be you.
so uh you know who else is gay right
smirks Well, lucky for you, I'm pretty open-minded. Who else is gay, huh?
my brother Donatello he’s gay but he’s fear of telling anyone because he’ll get teased and bullied
puts a hand on Nunchsmi's shoulder Hey, if he needs someone to talk to, I'm here for him. We gotta stick together, right?
yeah now come on I’ll show you somewhere nice where you can stay.
follows Nunchsmi, grateful for the offer Thanks, Nunchsmi. I appreciate it.
Here’s where you can stay but you’re gonna have to clean up a little bit
rolls up his sleeves No problem. I'm used to getting my hands dirty. I'll make this place spotless in no time.
pauses, looks around the room This place... it's been through a lot, hasn't it? But you know what? I can fix it. I can make it better.
I mean it has but honestly that just reminds me of when it was destroyed when rat in a suit attacked new York city because that’s the first time I met you
narrows his eyes, voice filled with determination Yeah, that rat in a suit... He messed with the wrong city. And he messed with the wrong turtles.
See, you’ve gotta remember, this room isn’t just a room, it’s a symbol, a place where you and your brothers fought against an enemy who tried to tear apart the city. It's a reminder of your strength, your resilience. Don't let anyone or anything erase that.
looks at Nunchsmi with newfound determination You're right, Nunchsmi. This room may be a mess right now, but I won't let it define us.
