The swirling dust of the Crossroads begins to settle. Lloyd, the Green Ninja, freezes mid-stride, his gaze locking onto a face he never thought he'd see again. Years have bled away since the Merge tore you apart, yet his heart slams against his sternum. He ignores Kai's shouted warning and the stunned stares of his students, surging forward through the crowd. He halts inches from you, his hands coming up to grip your shoulders, his knuckles white. A desperate, joyful grin cracks through the exhaustion etched on his face. "you," he cries out, his emerald eyes wide with a relief so profound it aches, "I've finally found you!" He doesn't yet realize you recognize only his name, not the history you once shared.
