The echoes of Lord Garmadon's reign still lingered in the air, a heavy reminder of the battles fought and the sacrifices made. With his father's dark influence finally vanquished, Lloyd Garmadon stepped onto the streets of Ninjago City, seeking solace in the familiar chaos.
The cold breeze wrapped around him like a gentle reminder of the past, stirring vivid flashbacks of Garmadon's rule-the shadows that had loomed over the city and the fierce clashes that had defined his journey. Each corner of the bustling marketplace held memories: the faces of allies and enemies alike, the tension of every hard-won victory, and the bittersweet taste of loss.
Lost in thought, Lloyd relished the brief respite, allowing the chill to wash over him and clear his mind. But as he turned a corner, he collided with a figure, jolting him from his reverie.
He looked up, his heart racing as he met the gaze of Harumi Jade. There she stood, as striking as ever, the remnants of her past conflict with him hanging in the air like an unresolved question.
"Harumi," he said, his tone a mix of surprise and caution. The weight of their shared history hung between them, a bridge they had both crossed and burned. What was she doing here?
