   Summary

   After the Krang invasion is over, Donatello is the one left behind.
   The city still breathes, still fights, still forgets, but only he seems to remember that day. He remembers laughter echoing through the lair, the weight of his brothers at his side, the way the world once felt survivable. Now, it’s just silence, broken only by ghosts that refuse to leave him. ( literally)
   As he navigates a future he never planned to face alone, Donnie is forced to confront something much harder to fight than any enemy he’s ever faced. He must face the slow, quiet unraveling of himself.
   But even at the end of everything, something in him keeps going.
   A story about loss, family, and what it means to keep living when the people you lived for are gone.

   Reader discretion is strongly advised. Please read the tags carefully and consider whether this story is right for you at this time. You know your limits. I do not. It's ok to stop reading if it's uncomfortable for you :)

   Thank you for reading—and please take care of yourself.
