I apologize in advance if I re tell sum of wut happened lastly or get some established lore wrong, it's been THAT long, I've forgotten sum of my own story.

Lloyd embraces this feeling of comfort.
He would wake up every day only looking forward to spending time with Nya

Only a few months ago, the idea of Nya loving him was out of the picture, she was out of his league
It was just a fantasy
He daydreamed all night and day about Nya, he couldn't contain this absolutely beautiful feeling he had for a girl who would guide him and comfort him in the most despite of times
But he always saw himself thinking about Harumi over and over
At the time, Lloyd had also felt this feeling for Harumi
And that ended horribly
So he never found the confidence to love someone again
But he was cautious optimistic
These last few days though, Lloyd has learned that the mindset he had been pondering on was no more further than the truth
He realized that that's just life works.
Life is about the moments of revelation, the moments of joy.
And there is more to life than that
There are also the moments of darkness
When you think you can no longer go any further
And these are the most beautiful moments in life
Because it shows that he still cares
That he is human enough to feel these emotions
And this shows that he has the power to love again

Nya helped him realize that

During the tyranny of Lord Garmadon, when Nya and Lloyd where by themselves, they felt more connected than ever

Lloyd could not make it through each day without the caring companionship of Nya

Lloyd finally had a chance

But it was all thrown the window

The day the other ninja came back from the first realm, Lloyd felt happy of the return of his brothers, but was crushed that now Nya had Jay
Lloyd felt like the lowest scumbag for wanting for Jay to have stayed in the first realm
He now started to doubt himself as a ninja
And on top of that, Nya didn't need Lloyd anymore

And since that day on, Lloyd has told himself that he didn't need Nya neither
That he was fine without her

But he was wrong
He did need Nya
And Nya needed him

But out of his conflicted and confused mind, sparked anger
Anger which he had taken out on himself
Because if it were anyone else, he would only add to his destructive evil character he saw himself as
He was stuck in an endless loop of sadness and self hatred
And only Nya could save Lloyd of this

Lloyd needs Nya

Lloyd was aware of this, but Jay was in the middle of all this, and Lloyd knew he couldn't be with Nya

As the sun went don't and the sky got dark and foggy, so did Lloyd's thoughts, the thought of Jay caused Lloyd to have a spontaneous outburst of all his problems

His complicated relationship with Nya
His father
And the thought of him becoming like his father
His mind became clouded
Then, he felt something in his pocket, it felt round, he reached in, and it was a mint candy
Every so often since Lloyd was a kid, Nya always got him candy, usually mint, and this particular one must've have been from today earlier at the market

Lloyd held it tight, his mind still clouded, he often fought with these horrible thoughts, but this time, he shifted his thought to Nya, and her advice
The day they were training in the warehouse during the reign of the Sons of Garmadon
Whenever Lloyd gets chained up, thinking there's no possible way to escape, don't get despite and give up, instead fight back with all the last strength and
Breath in your body

Lloyd finally for a moment felt what he hasn't felt in months,

Optimism

He has so much to loose right now to give up, Nya would have never done that, even when she has nothing left to loose, she would fight the darkness and dread she had in herself

Which is why Lloyd loves Nya

Lloyd opened his eyes, and the sun had nearly set, it was barley visible

Kai got over the intercom

"We are approaching the island, ETA is 2 minutes"

Lloyd peeked his head over the edge of the balcony to see where the Bounty was heading, but he saw nothing but dark lightning clouds

He glared harder and noticed something that was glowing heading towards the Bounty

Dat was sum deep stuff
I know it taking an eternity to get to the part where they arrived to the island, but trust me it's gonna pick up way faster once they get there
If I don't come back in 2 weeks, u can just unfollow, but I don't think that gon happen tho
Hopefully
