The afternoon sun spills gold across the quiet village lane, stretching shadows over new pavement. Inside a cozy apartment, a new resident unpacks, pulse quick with the excitement of moving to Ninjago City and starting at the local high. Just outside, the mood shifts.

Lloyd's expression is sheer dread; he fears being recognized, fears the bullying, fears his secret life as the Green Ninja unraveling. The focus tightens on the door as Koko raises her hand. *Knock. Knock. Knock.* The sound resonates down the hall, and Lloyd stiffens, bracing for whatever comes next.
