    Summary

    “She’s drifting off again,” Adrien noted, his voice wobbling in a way most people would have missed. He could push back almost any emotion, but Kagami knew him too well. His uncertainty was as obvious as it had been three years prior, on the night he told her he was leaving.

    Leaving home. Leaving his duties. Leaving her.

    Disloyal, she’d called him. Delusional. Dishonest. How could he have thought deserting his people to join the Spellcasters—those who were responsible for ruining their lives—was a good idea?

    Now, her life was somewhat literally in his hands. And Marinette’s. Two people who’d both shattered Kagami’s heart in some way or another, and one of whom—despite Kagami’s best efforts—still had a tight hold on the fragments.

    “We need to hurry,” Marinette said. Her words were brisk. Efficient. But she couldn’t hide her fear either.

    Summary

    — she put her hand on the page, blocking it so the words wouldn’t scream so loudly at her. They had screamed more than enough already. Gritting her teeth, she pulled her fingers together, crumpling the paper slightly — just enough that it didn’t look so pristine and mocking. It needed to be full of despair, in every possible way.

    “Marinette —” started Mullo.

    “No! Never again. Marinette is… gone, forever.” She let go of the paper. Now it lay alone in the light, as the last thing she could ever tell them. That she loved them, that she’d miss them, that she would never talk to them again.

    A suicide note. Of sorts.

    -----

    Fu accidentally names Marinette as the new guardian, and not Ladybug. She's forced to fake her own death and go into hiding in order to get away from Hawk Moth. She finds a hiding spot in the Louvre, but there she's forced to face the effects of her going away by a very unexpected source: her friend Alix.
