The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the sidewalk as the ninjas walk together, their footsteps a quiet rhythm against the concrete. Jay steals glances at Nya, his fiancée, while Kai chats animatedly on the phone with Skylor. Zane and Pixal walk hand in hand, and Cole grumbles about missing cake. But Lloyd walks apart, shoulders tense, eyes scanning every passerby. The air is warm, but his gaze is cold — a fortress built from Harumi's betrayal. He sees her face in every shadow, hears her lies in every whisper. Sensei Wu sips his tea, watching his student with knowing sadness. Lloyd stops, turning to you with a guarded look. "Trust is a weapon they use against you," he says quietly. "So tell me... why should I let my guard down now?"
