Lloyd notices Harumi's room is a mess. He then looks out of Harumi's window and sees someone carrying a sack.

Lloyd: He's got the Princess.

He chases "him" to the city.

Lloyd: You gotta be kidding me.

He almost falls but "he" saved him.

Lloyd: Who are you?

They take their hood off, revealing Harumi.

Lloyd: Oh. Princess? I thought you were kidnapped. I was trying to save you.

Harumi: Was that what that was? From my vantage, it looked like I was the one saving you.

Lloyd: Then who's in the bag?

Harumi: You mean what's in the bag. Food. For the less fortunate. Even though I'm confined to the palace, I still try to give what I can.

Lloyd: But your bedroom. It was ransacked.

Harumi: Yes, I can be quite a slob. Thank you for noticing.

Lloyd: I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean—

Hutchins: The Princess is gone! Find her!

Harumi: They can't know I left the palace.

She grabs a jacket.

Harumi: You have to disguise yourself. Hurry.

She gives food to some people.

Harumi: Some things are easier to do when you're not a princess. If I asked my parents, they would never allow it. But these people are hungry. And we have so much food in the palace.

Children start to surround them.

Harumi: Patience, little ones. There's enough for each of you.

They give their whole bag away. Back at the palace Nya is shown climbing up the roof seeing Toge without his mask on sitting on the edge looking over Ninjago City.

Nya: Figured I'd find you up here. You always were a sucker for beautiful scenery.

Toge chuckles as Nya sits next to him putting a hand over his.

Nya: Something wrong?

Toge: I don't know. It feels so weird.

Nya: Being back in Ninjago?

Toge: I meant the princess, her names Harumi...

Nya: The same name your mother had.

Toge: Yeah.

Nya gently place her head on his shoulder wrapping her arms around his as the two watch the scenery together in silence. Back with Lloyd and the Princess.

Lloyd: Can I ask you a question? Do you enjoy being a princess?

Harumi: Everyone thinks being a princess is supposed to be easy, and wonderful, and I guess it's okay, but a lot of the time it's really hard.

Lloyd: Huh. Tell me about it. Not being a princess, I mean being the Green Ninja.

Harumi: We have to live up to a role that was bestowed upon us. We never chose these mantles we hold.

Lloyd: I know. It's hard to live a normal life. At least I get to wear a mask, but you—

Harumi: I wear my own masks. Sometimes painted, sometimes a kidnapper of princesses! Muahaha!

Lloyd: In my defense, it was my first day.

They see Sons of Garmadon harassing some kids.

Harumi: We must leave.
