Lloyd swallowed as he made his way to the medical room of the monastery to check on Jay after he had finished applying new bandages to his left side.

They weren't that strong, and the wound was still bleeding, but he couldn't just tell everyone he was hurt as well when they were all still grieving, including himself.

It had been two days since Nya merged with the ocean. One day since her funeral. While the others were in the city, trying to salvage the damage from Wojira, Lloyd was here, making sure Jay was okay.

Granted, he had requested that he stay back and look after Jay; not because of the throbbing pain in his left side, but because he didn't know if he could stomach being in New Ninjago City again without Nya by his side.

After all, he was like a sister to her; she was one of the first ones to accept him being taken in by his uncle, and after everything with his dad and Harumi, she became his rock.

He couldn't begin to imagine how Jay felt. He had just lost the love of his life, his yang. It didn't even shine a light to his experience of losing Harumi.

He walked into the medical wing, and couldn't help but wince when he saw Jay, curled up on his left side, a blue dragon under his arm that clearly had been through hell, and his eyes…

Jay's eyes, which were normally a subtle shade of ocean blue, seemed a dull grey now, like everything that resembled the sea had left him when Nya did. Not to mention they were full of tears.

"L-Lloyd?" Jay stuttered, wiping at his eyes as he struggled to sit, which sent Lloyd racing to his side and insisting.

"No, Master Wu said you needed to rest and recover. Stay down."

Jay nodded and laid back down, sniffling as Lloyd went to check the bandages around Jay's left wrist which had been electrocuted by Kalmaar.

He gently peeled them back and started to wipe down the wound, refusing to let himself look at Jay's face which was most likely twisted in pain.

The heavy silence, only interrupted slightly by a chicken squawk, clouded the room; it was suffocating.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Lloyd broke through while wrapping new bandages around the injury, watching as Jay shook his head violently, "okay, we don't have to talk about it. Do you want me to stay?"

He watched Jay's head move up and down, so Lloyd took the chair next to his bed, knowing fully well that this would be where Nya would be if she wasn't…

Lloyd hated saying that someone was gone. Whether that was a fear of making something final, or if it was him trying to cling to hope, he didn't know. After all, Zane came back from fighting the Overlord, his uncle had come back multiple times, even his dad…

'Don't open that can of worms; this isn't about you.' He scolded himself, watching as Jay curled back up on his side with the stuffed animal. 'Jay's suffering, leave your dad out of it.'

Lloyd started to debate the possibility of checking over the injury on his side when he remembered.

'After we got Cole back, Jay talked to you about his biological parents, so you knew you had someone to go to. You need to do the same for him, and let him know that you're there for him.'

"Lloyd!" Jay cut off his thought process as he started to get out of bed, "You're bleeding through your gi!"

Lloyd grimaced, looking down and seeing the red stain start to spread before Jay walked over and went to start untying his belt; Lloyd didn't hesitate to shove him away and start untying it himself, "Lay back down, dude. I can handle this."

"That's what you think," Jay whimpered as Lloyd pulled off his shirt and examined the wound as best as he could, but he brought himself back to Jay's voice, "you think you can handle things, that you know what you're doing, and then...then you're gone."

Lloyd winced as Jay started crying, his head in his hands as he sank to the floor. 'Go with your gut.' He told himself, sliding down next to Jay and putting his hand on his shoulder, wincing at the shock of pain in his side.

"I'm not leaving, Jay," Lloyd pulled him into a hug, feeling the hot tears on his bare shoulder and fighting back tears of his own despite the fact that loss was tearing at his heart, "I'm not gonna leave you."

Lloyd swallowed, feeling the tears start to fall down his own cheeks as Jay grew more hysterical, gripping onto him like he was going to disappear as soon as he let go. All he could do was hold his big brother close, feeling his blood soak against Jay's hoodie, and grasp at a way to comfort him.

'What do I say? Hey, my dad died and I can understand? My girlfriend turned out to be a traitor and betrayed me after I knew her for less than a week? My mom left me and she came back, maybe Nya will come back?"

And in that moment, Lloyd's heart broke and he lost himself in his own tears, because in that moment, it hit him. His dad would never be the same again, Harumi was long gone…

And Nya was never coming back.

It could've been hours later, or minutes later when the door opened and he was pulled away from Jay by Kai, who swore very loudly when he saw Lloyd's side and started to lecture him about being careful and telling them about injuries while Zane started to clean the wound.

Despite the stinging pain of the antiseptic and the four stitches he needed, all he could focus on was Cole gently helping Jay off the floor and back into bed before letting him cry on his shoulder.

Despite Kai's lecturing, all Lloyd could hear was Cole saying, just above a whisper, "I know. I know. I've got you. I've got you."

"You got it, Lloyd?" Kai demanded, bringing Lloyd's attention back to the master of fire, who looked as if he hadn't slept at all since Nya left. But with the way Zane put his hand on Kai's shoulder, he knew that Zane, as well as PIXAL, had Kai handled.

"Yeah, I've got it." Lloyd nodded, letting Kai pull the blanket over his shoulders before he and Zane left the room; Cole left shortly after doing the same to Jay.

Lloyd turned onto his right side so he was looking directly at Jay, and couldn't help but joke, despite the fact his head was screaming at him not to, "I told you I wasn't leaving you."

And to his surprise, Jay laughed. It wasn't a hysterical laugh, but it was a Jay laugh. The laugh where he actually thought something was funny enough to put his whole heart into it, even when it was a little broken.

And in that moment, Lloyd couldn't help but laugh as well while thinking to himself, 'Maybe things are going to be okay eventually.'
