Its been what Harumi assumes is a few months ever since she arrived in the Departed Realm. The other servants were still terrible towards her, but she knew she had no right to complain. Morro only allowed her to live in his place as long as she worked here.
"Hey." a servant boy said
"What do you want? Have you come to make fun of me?" Harumi said scrubbing the floor.
"As much as I would enjoy that, Master Morro would like to see you." the servant boy said
"Where is he?" Harumi asked
"Somewhere in his quarters." the servant boy said
Harumi sighed. She headed to Morro's quarters and knocked on his office door.
"Come in." Morro said from the other side of the door.
"You wanted to see me Master?" Harumi asked
Harumi felt so uncomfortable saying it. Despite her dislike of the other maids, she didn't want to slip up.
"Madeline saw that the other maids were hurt you, why didn't you tell anyone?" Morro asked
"I had no right to speak up.I've done lots of terrible shit while I was alive. I traumatized many people." Harumi said
"I'm giving you time off, to recover. I see bruises all over your legs and nail marks on your arms." Morro said sternly
"Injuries aren't fatal. Cause we're dead." Harumi said
"But they still hurt, right?" Morro asked
When Harumi stayed silent, Morro knew the answer.
"Kiara, is going to take you out and get you clothes of your own." Morro said
"What? Go out? I thought you said that I would probably be beaten up!" Harumi said panicking
"Kiara can place an illusion around you so yo I won't be attacked." Morro said
Kiara glared at Harumi. It was quite obvious she still didn't trust her.
"Come on. Let's go Princess." Kiara said dragging Harumi out of the mansion.

"So how did all of you know I was a ex-Princess?" Harumi questioned as they walked through the mall many bags in their hands.
"Wait what?" Kiara whisper-shouted
"I was an adopted princess.Didn't you know?" Harumi said as they put the bags down after ordering pretzel bread.
"No. None of us did. We saw you as a brat. So we just called you that. None of the team were born in the Modern Era of Ninjago. All of us were born decades ago but when you die, you don't age." Kiara said
"That's great! People can get into relationships!" Harumi said
"I think we should head back. We did buy a lot of stuff." Kiara said
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Harumi agreed.
"You know today, wasn't that bad. I may not have witnessed what you did, but I'm willing to become your friend like James and Madeline." Kiara said
"Do you ever think that Morro wants to be my friend too? Harumi asked
"He probably will eventually." Kiara said
Harumi and Kiara arrived at the mansion.
"Oh, your back. How was it?" Morro asked
"It was amazing! We're friends now." Kiara said
"Oh. That's interesting." Morro said
Morro seemed expressionless. Not too long afterwards, he walked away.

Morro went to his room. All his friends forgave her and became friends with her. He supposed he could be nicer to her. But before they are friends, there is someone in The Departed Realm she has to forgive.
