Summary
Donnie’s love for inventing has gotten him in some controversies before, sure, but undemocratic interrogation is a new low. Two turtles that look much like himself are questioning him, saying things that amount to riddles, kicking him around when he doesn’t give them the answer they want… and he doesn’t know what that is, because nobody will tell him why he’s here! He knows one thing for certain: Things cannot possibly get worse.
Then he hears Mikey scream next door.
-
When Donnie is knocked out on a run to the junkyard and wakes up in an interrogation room, he is forced to confront his greatest regrets— and the sacrifices they command.
[Inspired by 'The Pillowman' by Martin McDonagh]

Summary
2 minutes ago, Goofy watched as Max entered the living room at 4 in the morning, with wide, glazed over eyes, covered in blood that wasn’t his. 2 hours ago, Max had been awoken by Bobby’s voice on the phone pleading, begging, "Please man, you gotta help me, please, please, please, I don’t know what to do, please". 2 ½ hours ago, Bobby decided to finally check the message P.J. had sent him after ignoring it in favor of a slice of cheesecake, and felt as the weight of the world hit him at 90 mph. 4 hours ago, P.J. made a decision on something that had been haunting him for a long, long time. 5 hours ago, his dad drove him to it.
5 hours, 5 perspectives, 5 stories.

It’s Prom night. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Dear Saffron,
Heyooo it's Charmy. I suppose you're wondering why I'm writing to you after so long, and I guess I could ask myself the same thing.
It all started a couple weeks ago when I started getting the dreams again. I got the way I always get with you and started thinking about all the things we used to do. The castles, the missions, the tunnels, and all the other stuff. I started looking at your pictures more and I guess I took it a little too far because Espio caught on (can't get anything past ninja man). He told me I should start journaling and I said no because that's stupid and gay. This is cool and aesthetic and mysterious. So I'm doing this instead.

Charmy begins writing letters to his late best friend and is forced to face some disturbing truths. -

Summary
Charmy always felt too much of the wrong things at the wrong time. One of the unfortunate consequences of being a baby of war and a child of detectives, he supposed.
-
As his mental health takes a quick detour, Charmy begins to worry that he will bring the agency crashing down with him. All of this changes on one late-night gas station run when he meets a talking vending machine that swears it can make it all disappear.
