harumi's pov

im sitting on a couch in a brightly lit apartment filled with plants and cozy furniture. there's a dog sleeping at my feet and a cat next to me. i'm typing something on a laptop and eating a piece of toast with strawberry jam.

  i smile as i remember something funny from yesterday and continue to type. i hear a ding. one of my friends messaging me. i open up the message to reply.

  "hey babe? have you seen my hairbrush?" i hear a voice behind me.

  i turn to see a figure in a hoodie and jeans waking towards me. he kisses me on the forehead.

  "you might have left it in the bedroom?" i suggest.

  "thanks, i'll go look,"

  he leaves.

  i turn back to the computer only to realize that the message i got wasn't from one of my friends. it was from garmadon.

  how could you betray me? it read. my heart started beating faster.

  i typed, im sorry and sent it.

  the dots appeared as he responded. are you forgetting what the ninja did to your parents?

  i don't know to to respond to that.

  i glance behind me to check if anyone was standing there.

  im alone.

  i look back to the computer to see that it's not garmadon who sent the messages. it was the quiet one.

  the dog and cat sleeping next to me both wake up and leave.

  i set my food and laptop down and walk towards the bedroom.

  i see the figure looking through the bedside table.

  "still can't find the brush?" i ask nervously.

  "this is all your fault." the man says. "if you hadn't have brought back garmadon i could have found my brush."

  "that doesn't make any sense!" i argue.

  "what?" the figure says turning around.

  it's lloyd.

  "oh come on harumi this is all your fault."
