A Lloyd and Garmadon moment taking place a few months after Zane's battle with the Overlord.
"Hello...?" Lloyd called softly.
His father, Sensei Garmadon, was in his room meditating. Lloyd's voice held an extreme sadness. He was still upset about losing Zane. The other ninjas had already left. Garmadon sighed and instantly looked up, beckoning his child to come close. Lloyd came forward, kneeling beside him.
"What is it, my son?"
"I'm upset, Dad. Zane, he-"
"I know. We all saw his sacrifice. You miss him a lot, don't you?"
Lloyd only nodded, tears starting to flow from his eyes.
His father pulled him close, wincing a little as he felt his heart ache with sympathy. "Lloyd Montgomery, come here..." he whispered. "Please don't cry...it just pains me so much inside seeing you this upset..."
Lloyd nodded again, closing his eyes to keep his tears at bay. "I love you, Dad..." He leaned his head against his father's shoulder.
"Me too..." Garmadon smiled slightly, stroking his hair.
Ever since Lloyd defeated the Overlord the first time, he and his father remained close. The both of them knew that things would never be the same after what had happened just years ago, but that didn't change their relationship, and it only made it stronger. As for Garmadon, the fact that Lloyd had shot up in age changed things as well. He missed the days when his son was so much younger.
"You've matured so much, Lloyd. I'm absolutely proud of you. But then again, there'll be some things, like your temperament, that'll never change. You're my whole world."
The two of them held each other for awhile, before Lloyd eventually fell asleep.
"You've gone through so much...I'm sorry...but I wouldn't have had it any other way."
