—Could this day get even weirder? — Raphael asks in a low voice and his brothers just nod without stopping to look at both April and the older turtle.
The light that surrounded the older man moves until it concentrates on his hands and hundreds of golden butterflies emerge from them and fly from the roof to the streets. The boys follow them and watch as each one stops on something and, for a moment, they can see the spirits the others talked about. Hundreds of figures are enveloped in a golden light and become another butterfly that rises to the sky and disappears. From where they are they can hear the sobs of people who say goodbye to the souls of their loved ones through tears.
The whole scene is very emotional, the oldest of the brothers surrounds his brothers with his arms moved and with tears silently running down his cheeks. None of them can articulate words and they watch in silence as people hug each other and cry in the rain.
Angelo takes one last butterfly in his hands and approaches the human girl who looks at him sadly.
"It's time, you can say goodbye," he says softly to the girl and she sobs and nods. The brothers turn to see how the visitor lets the butterfly escape from his hands and the beautiful creature lands on the head of the woman's spirit, which is enveloped in a strong golden light that shrinks until it obtains the shape of another butterfly. of gold that flies around April as a farewell before joining the others and disappearing among the clouds and rain.
— Thank you... — the young woman murmurs, passing her hands over her face, trying to contain her tears — I never thought I would see her again — she maintains a sad smile and clings to Don when he approaches to console her.
— That was... strange — Leonardo murmurs and the others just nod.
— I guess releasing the mystical core of this world caused an unexpected reaction — the older man responds, watching the last butterflies disappear on the horizon — I guess things in this place are even more different than I thought.
The sky begins to clear and the rain eases to a drizzle, April shivers in Donatello's arms and that is a clear sign that they should return to the den and dry off. Angelo brushes his wet hair out of his face, shaking it roughly.
—How come you have hair? "I've never seen a turtle like that," the girl asks as they go down from the roof to the street.
— Dad said that our human DNA manifested itself differently in us, he gave me hair — he grabs a strand and twists it between his fingers — to another a pretty face or beard — he laughs when remembering his brothers; The girl looked at him fascinated while she spoke, which caused Don to look coldly at Leo again and Raph to laugh at them.
On the roof Mikey looked at the horizon, his brothers did not notice that he did not come down immediately after them although it did not take long for Raphael to start yelling at him to hurry up or he would come for him. No, he didn't come down immediately because something bright caught his attention, something that passed by the periphery of his vision and disappeared into the horizon.
A strangely pixelated violet lightning bolt that silently lit up the night sky and was gone as quickly as it appeared, so quickly that Mikey could have imagined it if it weren't for the discomfort that formed in his chest and left him uncomfortable for a few moments.
"Come on brat," Raph's hand on his shoulder startled him and he looked at his brother with wide eyes; I doubt whether or not to tell him what happened but the night had already been stranger than necessary so he would keep it to himself for now, he would talk to Angelo when they were alone.
"Let's go," he responds with a smile and they go down from the roof to follow the others through the sewers.
