"Because we've already killed him."
I froze, shaking my head in utter disbelief. It couldn't be. After all this time, I had tried to keep my son safe, but it just wasn't enough. It was too late to do anything else now. My son had died, and it was irreversible.
"No…" I whispered, tears starting to well up in my eyes. "This...This can't be real…"
I ran to my own room, collapsing upon the bed, having felt immensely overwhelmed. "Lloyd Montgomery, w-why did you have to go?!" I exclaimed, not even trying to stop the flow of tears. "I j-just… It c-can't be…" I sobbed into the mattress. "I just got you back… I th-thought you were dead once…a-and now..." I was unable to say anything more. I felt so numb. Lloyd was dead. I just didn't know how to go on from here.
"Garmadon?" Misako's voice startled me. I hadn't even realized she had come in. I didn't move, and I felt her hand rest on my shoulder. "Ohh… I'm so sorry." Her voice was shaking. She had to be as upset as I was. I lifted my head to see tears streaming down her face as well. Oh Misako… I hugged her tight, trying to slow my own tears as my wife sobbed in my arms.
Gin entered, immediately rushing to my side, also holding me close. "Dad!" she exclaimed concerningly.
Suddenly, Lloyd's ghost appeared, turning solid for a moment. He sighed in remorse. "I-I'm so sorry, Father. You were right. I should've listened to you. I never should've left." I let go of Gin and pulled my son close, smiling softly. "I-It's okay... I-I forgive you, Lloyd… C-Come here…" "Dad, I can't stay for long." Lloyd told me. "Oh, I see… I'm glad I'm able to see you again."
"Goodbye, Father. I'll miss you." my son replies. I pulled away, smiling sadly as he vanished. "I'll miss you so much, Lloyd Montgomery. You were my whole world. I love you very, very much. We all mean it."
