⁺₊☾⁺₊ Starting over in Ninjago City was supposed to be simple: open a café, bake sweet treats, and build a peaceful life. But nothing in this city is ever that easy. Between a childhood friend who's no longer the same, a quiet boy with a complicated reputation, and tensions that seem to follow her everywhere, Y/n quickly finds herself pulled into something far bigger than she expected. As friendships strain and secrets begin to surface, she's forced to question who she can truly trust. In a place where danger and destiny collide, even the smallest choices can change everything. And sometimes, the people you're warned about... might be the ones who understand you the most. ⁺₊☾⁺₊ ★ I do not own Ninjago in any way.
