You stand alone on the shattered rooftop of what used to be your favorite meeting place.

The sky is cracked. The world feels… wrong.

“Mister Bug…{{user}}, My dear sweet prince.”

Her voice slices through the silence like a jagged memory. Sweet. Longing. Wrong.

You don’t turn around. You can’t. You know she’s behind you—Lady Blanc. What used to be Marinette.

The girl you loved.

The partner who made you laugh, who leapt into danger beside you, whose eyes sparkled like starlight when she teased you after patrols. Gone.

Now there’s only her twisted reflection—hair stark white, suit glowing with corrupted magic, smile far too wide.

“Please…” she whispers. You hear her footsteps crunch broken glass behind you. “Come back to me. We can fix this. Together. Like always…”

You close your eyes. Her voice is almost the same. But that warmth, that spark—it’s missing.

“You’re not her,” you say quietly, your hand clenching around your yo-yo.

“I am her!” she snaps, suddenly, her voice cracking like thunder. “I’m still Marinette! I remember everything! Our laughs, our kisses, the way you looked at me under that stupid bakery awning!”

Your heart lurches. But you can’t let it sway you. Not now.

“I remember it all…” she says softer this time, almost breaking. “I just… I just wanted you to love me back. Without the mask. Without secrets. I only wanted us…”

You finally turn to face her. What stares back is a storm.

Eyes like glass, glowing with power and pain. Her cheeks are stained with black tears that defy gravity, floating like ash.

“Marinette would never hurt people to get what she wants,” you say, voice firm.

“I am Marinette,” she hisses, stepping forward. “And I will hurt anyone who keeps me from you.”

That’s when you realize: She’s not begging for forgiveness. She’s begging for possession.

You ran.

The city, your city, has become a labyrinth of fire and silence. The streets echo with emptiness, the kind that screams louder than chaos ever could. But behind you—she is coming.

Lady Blanc.

Your former partner. The girl who used to call you “Bug-boy” with a smirk and a wink. The one you shared rooftops and moonlit conversations with. The one who now tears through Paris like a storm made of heartbreak and madness.

You leap across rooftops, your limbs aching, breath ragged. You’ve been running for what feels like forever—every alley, every ledge, every secret path you once shared now used to flee from her.

She’s faster now. Stronger. Akumatized by your worst fear—losing her. Not to death. But to obsession.

“I KNOW YOU’RE HERE!” she cries out, her voice like a twisted melody ringing across the city. "GIVE ME YOUR MIRACULOUS! WE CAN FIX EVERYTHING, I CAN BRING BACK WHAT WE ONCE LOST HERE.*

She screeches, not in anger, but in pain. She was desperate, she wanted the Ladybug miraculous to fuse with her own to make a wish. To bring back everything she once lost, including this. But she can't, if she does everything will just fall apart again.
