Nya's POV
You know when you get that jolt? That feeling when you know immediately you know messed up?

I made this mistake three years ago but the regret I just felt was that immediate jolt.

~2 hours ago~

Narrator's POV
All the ninja were yelling. Everyone was frustrated trying to bring down their latest foe.

Everyone except for Jay that is. Jay was with a child who lost their parent in the fray of the chaos.

Nya looked over and saw Jay holding the kids hand. "Hey, Kid it's okay, your parents will find you and I'm not leaving your side until they do okay?"

The kid sniffed and nodded. "Now tell me where did you last see them?"

The kid began to cry again. "I got scared when the bad guys attacked!"

Jay nodded in understanding to show how much he cared about the child's safety.

"That was really scary huh?"

The kid sniffed again. "Y-yeah."

Jay gave a comforting smile. "Well you know what I think?"
The kid shook their head.

"I think you're being really brave."

The child looked up into Jay's eyes with confusion. "I am?" They whimpered.

"Totally! When I was your age, if I ever lost my parents I'd crawl into a bawl and just cry!" Jay laughed which made the kid laugh as well, slightly wiping their tears.

"I think you're more cut out to be a ninja than me," he smiled reassuringly.

"Really?"

"Oh for sure, now how about we go and find your mom?" The kid nodded and smiled.

30 minutes later

Jay came back still with the kid. The child now had cotton candy in their hand while Jay held them in his arms.

They couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.

"Okay kiddo your mom should be right over there," Jay said using his free hand to point over to the lost and found of the town.

The kid squealed in delight when they saw their mother as she ran up to her son.

"Harry!" The woman cried. "Oh thank the FSM you're okay!"

Jay plopped Harry down to the floor as he ran to his mom.

"Mommy! The blue ninja! He found you!" He hugged her tightly while still not letting go of his sweets.

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much!" The woman cried out in absolute relief.

Jay smiled sincerely. "Oh don't thank me, besides I'm not the one who's going home to a sugar rush. Sorry about that by the way."

The woman laughed. "Oh please he can have all the sugar he wants as long as he's alive. Really thank you so much!"

Jay nodded in gratitude. Harry ran up to Jay and hugged his leg tightly. "Thank you."

Nya's POV

Current time

Why did Jay have to do that? Be himself? Be perfect? Be kind? FSM!

I called him childish. That's how he calmed that kid down. He related with him in order to bring peace to that child.

How could I have been so stupid to let him go? How is this the moment to make me realize?

Jay Walker... why is the perfect you...you?
