It was a lot to take in, I guess. New York City was so beautiful and huge and everything we always imagined tat it was and more. The first time we lift we just wanted to see everything we could, every shop window, every street corner, just... everything. It was also the first time we had actual food, before we were living off worms and algae, and since we were turtles it was okay for us.

Needless to say as soon as we got out, we didn't ever want to stay locked up in the sewer again. But we still have to stay hidden from society, so... we're still limited on when we can and can't go out. But just having that freedom after so long was enough for us.
