7. The Stone Army.

—"I AM BACK."

—Nya: "[Y/n]! You're finally back!"

—"Where are the boys?"

—Nya: "They're at the museum. Hm? What do you have there?"

—"A basket."

—Nya: "What's inside?"

—"A child."

—Nya: "Oh ok. Wait what—?"

Before she could question me further I was out already.

[...]

I enter the gift shop that was now destroyed and a little figurine ran out.

—"What...?"

—Jay: "Oh [Y/n]! You're back!"

—"I'm back."

Wu chased the figurine but stopped after seeing a woman.

—Wu: "Misako?"

—Misako: "Wu..."

—Wu: "I, uh..."

—Misako: "It's been a long time."

Jay clears his throat.

—Jay: "So, uh, you gonna introduce us?"

—Wu: "Uh, yes. This is Misako, Lloyd's mother."

The Ninja gasp.

—Lloyd: "My...my mother?"

—Misako: "Ah. Lloyd? My little boy. You're so much bigger than I remember."

—Lloyd: "Yeah, well, it's been a long time."

He bitterly replied.

—Misako: "I didn't want us to meet like this. I have a reason why I've been away."

—Lloyd: "Well, I don't wanna hear it."

Lloyd walks away.

—Misako: "Lloyd! Wait, please!"

I went after him with a word.

[...]

I sit next to Lloyd at the bottomless pit exhibition.

—"Hey."

—Lloyd: "Hi..."

I stretch out my hand and give him a peach I collected on the way back.

—Lloyd: "Thanks..."

—"..."

—Lloyd: "..."

—Lloyd: "are you not gonna tell me I should forgive her?"

—"Why would I? I never saw your pains"

Lloyd smiles softly and placed his head on my shoulder which surprised me.

—Lloyd: "Thank you"

—Misako: "Lloyd? Lloyd!"

Misako and the rest arrive. Lloyd immediately retracts his head out of embarrassment.

—Misako: "I'd watch your step. That sinkhole doesn't have a bottom, son. It's where I found the ancient Stone Warrior."

—Lloyd: "Uh, "son?" You've been gone my whole life! There's nothing you can say."
