Lillian couldn't bear to look at Nathaniel. Her hopes had been crushed.
"Lillian, I-I'm sorry." Nathaniel tried to talk to her.
She looked away. "It's fine..." She got up and took the hall pass. Lillian headed out the door and to the restroom.
In a stall, she began to sob, clutching Nathaniel's drawing. "I dared to hope, and now our friendship may never be repaired." The drawing got smudged by her tears.
"Lillian?" Marinette's voice echoed through. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah. I'm fine." She said shakily.
"Okay..."
Lillian didn't notice the akuma heading for her until it was right in front of her. She let out an ear piercing scream as it entered the paper.
"Heartthrob, I am Hawk Moth." The villain spoke to her through her mind. "Your hopes of love have been crushed. I will give you the power to erase and replace love for any one you choose. In return, all I ask for are Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculouses. Do we have a deal?"
Lillian reached for her necklace, but not her miraculous. She pulled out the locket Adrien gave her for Christmas and looked at the two pictures inside. Her father and her friends.
"No!" She shouted. "I am Lillian! Lillian Hope Montgomery! I am not Heartthrob! You can't control me Hawk Moth!" She rebelled against the villain's power. "I am Ath- Kitsune!"
Hawk Moth fell silent and the akuma flew out of the drawing.
Lillian collapsed. She was vaguely aware of someone rushing in, and a pink light before blacking out.
