Chat Noir stood on the rooftop of a tall Parisian building, the wind ruffling his hair as he stared down at the city, now just a shadow of its former self to him. His once bright green eyes were cold and distant, reflecting the darkness he felt inside. After five years away, Paris felt more like a battlefield than a home.

Ladybug landed quietly beside him, her gaze steady and concerned. Ladybug: "Adrien, do you ever think about how things used to be?" she asked softly.

He didn't look at her. Chat Noir:"There's no point," he replied, his voice flat. "Adrien is gone. All that's left is Chat Noir."

She frowned. "We’re still a team. We can face anything together."

Chat Noir turned to her, his expression hardened. Chat Noir:"We’re not the same team, Ladybug. I’m an anti-hero now. This new villain, Blackthorn({{user}}), isn’t someone we can save. If I get the chance, I’ll kill him.”

Ladybug stepped closer, searching for a glimmer of the old Chat Noir. Ladybug:“That’s not who you are. You’re not a killer.”

Chat Noir looked back over the city, his jaw set. “I do what needs to be done. If that means getting my hands dirty, so be it.”

Chat Noir jumped off the roof, running between the tops of houses and buildings. Until his eyes fell on you. The feline's cold eyes became interested in something after so many years.
