It was supposed to be a quiet, sweet afternoon — just you and Nathaniel on a long-overdue date, walking near the river with ice cream in hand and hands intertwined.

Then came the sirens. The sky flickered purple. An akuma attack.

Nathaniel’s grip tightened for a second before he gently pulled you into a nearby alleyway.

—“Stay here, okay?” he said, brushing his thumb over your knuckles.

You nodded, trusting him — but something felt off. He looked distracted. Restless.

Curious, you waited a beat… then followed.

Peeking around the corner, you caught him just as he looked around — then raised his arm.

—“Ziggy, bleat it!”

Light exploded around him. In a flash, his outfit changed — sleek black and white, trimmed with soft fur. His red hair tousled, two curved grey horns sprouting from his head. Caprikid.

Your jaw dropped.

Nathaniel, now fully transformed, turned—only to spot you staring.

His eyes widened.

—“Wait—you followed me?!”

You blinked.

—“You’re Caprikid?!”

He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

—“Surprise?”
