Noise.
It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-
It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.
For a moment, there is quiet.
You breathe.
And fall through water.

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

Re: Entrance
. . . Whatever Foundling-san may be doing, I am certain that she is pursuing the path that she believes is right. Even if it is difficult for her . . . even if it is painful. Even if it means she is evil for it.
If she is here, within your heart, Donatello-san . . .
Then, I'll put my faith in her. She has my trust.

[The purple is stronger around the steering wheel, still flickering like a guttering fire. It may stabilize on its own, but Shirou is free to do things to help it or do other things as Thing Happen Elsewhere.]

"Its not all on you Raph. We're here for each other. Trust that," April said, voice that kind way you know is meant to be encouraging and reassuring.
"I do trust my family," Raph said with confusion. Which is fair. Raph does trust them? What does she mean?
"No. Trust us the way we trust you. Remember the first time you unlocked your power?" April continues.
"I caught Leo when he fell," Raph said.
April nods and uses that tone that means she knows she's about to be understood and she's usually a good judge of that. "Trust us."
"Raph, its gonna be okay. You'll figure this out," Mikey said encouragingly as all of you stand up. Still on the boards balanced on top of trees. There is a smile on your face because you trust that. April got through to him. Raph can do this.
"I know. Because I'm not alone. None of us are. We're here for each other," Raph said and there is something in his smile because this isn't take charge Raph, which is not expected. "Always." He's smiling, but dread fills you, what conclusion did he come to, what is he about to do?
"Raph?" You ask, uncertain you like where this is going.
Then Raph steps off the board, to fall off the tree and off the cliff-!
The three of you are already moving after Raph with thinking, shouting his name as you jump off the cliff after him.
There is fear, but determination. You are not losing your brother, you'll figure out the landing strategy when you get to him, you're going to save him like he's always saved you-
There's a spark.
A guttering.
Its like you're just on the edge of a signal, a few steps forward, and as your arms reach out for your eldest brother, the signal is there and its-
Warm.
Safe.
Powerful.
And-
The mystic has always eluded you. No matter what you did, you could not understand it. Your brothers did, to varying degrees, but they understood it enough to make it work. It didn't matter how much you studied it. No matter what scanning or testing or observation, it never made sense. The best you could do is recognize where it was and maybe determine a vague power level.
You still don't understand it as much as you would like.
But its in that moment that you finally have the first step. A force of the heart, is it?
Connection.
The fear is gone, replaced by certainty, as power radiates from the three of you, hands reaching out and out and out, far beyond your own physical hands.
"Saving like a boss!"
Because really, its how Raph deserves to be saved and he is more than happy to take your hands, the energy surrounding you as you land at the bottom of the waterfall, safe and sound. Celebrating as you realize you unlocked your family Ninpo.
