After the battle against Lord Garmadon and the end of his rise to power, Ninjago had finally found a period of peace. However, Lloyd Garmadon couldn't find serenity in his heart. The memory of Harumi, the rebellious princess he had loved and lost, continued to haunt him. Even though Harumi had chosen the dark side for revenge, Lloyd couldn't forget the moments when he had glimpsed the good in her.One day, while Lloyd was meditating on the monastery's roof, he heard a whisper in the wind. A whisper that seemed to call his name.
"Lloyd..." He opened his eyes and found himself facing a veiled figure. Her eyes were unmistakable, even hidden under a hood.
It was Harumi."Lloyd," she said with a trembling voice, "I'm back."Lloyd stood up, confused but hopeful. "How did you... I thought... I thought you had died during the collapse of the cathedral."Harumi lowered her hood, revealing her face marked by guilt and remorse. "I managed to survive, but the guilt for everything I've done has consumed me. I've come back to seek redemption... and to ask for your forgiveness."Lloyd looked at her intently, his heart in turmoil.
"You made terrible choices, Harumi. But I've always believed there was good in you. Maybe this is your way of proving it."Harumi lowered her gaze, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I don't deserve your forgiveness, Lloyd. But I can't live without trying to make amends. I want to help you protect Ninjago, like I should have done from the beginning."Lloyd stepped forward, taking her hand.
"Everyone deserves a second chance, Harumi. But you'll have to earn it. It will be a difficult path, and not everyone will welcome you with open arms."Harumi felt her heart pounding in her chest. Lloyd's words resonated within her, bringing a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time. Without saying a word, she moved closer to Lloyd, letting her eyes slowly close. Then, with a gesture full of emotion, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.Lloyd was surprised for a moment, but then returned the kiss with the same intensity, holding her tighter, as if afraid of losing her again. In that instant, all the pain of the past seemed to vanish, leaving only the love they had always felt for each other.Harumi slowly pulled away, resting her forehead against Lloyd's, while a shy smile formed on her lips.
"Thank you for never stopping believing in me, Lloyd."Lloyd smiled at her gently. "I could never stop, Harumi. You are a part of me."
