It was her.

His assistant.

"Nathalie" the man murmured.

The woman stopped rowing the kayak for a moment.

"Gabe are you ok?"

His look was different, a mixture of sadness and relief.

"Nathalie, I remember everything" the man whispered.

The woman looked at him in confusion.

"What did you remember?"

"I remember the miraculous, I used them to make my wish come true that's why Emilie is back"

Nathalie was confused.

Miraculous? Wish? What was he talking about?

"What are you talking about Gabe?"

"Don't you remember? We won against Ladybug and Chat Noir and..."

He went quiet all of a sudden.

"Adrien, is Chat Noir" he murmured.

Nathalie was speechless.

That man was saying things that didn't have any sense to her hears.

"Ok, I think all this polar cold isn't good for you"

Yeah, that must have been the cold.

"No no, why don't you understand? We were Hawkmoth and Mayura"

"Who?"

"The supervillains of Paris"

"Uh..."

"We used to akumise people to steal the miraculous"

Those explanations made Nathalie even more confused and in the end she arrived at the conclusion Gabriel must have gone insane.

"All right Gabe, let's talk about this on the dry land ok?" she said.

She started rowing to reach their crew back on the land.

"No, I want to talk about it now, it bothers me you can't remember"

"No Gabe, I don't remember it because I know it never happened"

"It happened"

"No, it didn't, I didn't know you before you came to my office some weeks ago and I'm really sure about it"

Gabriel sighed.

"Nathalie I'm telling the truth"

They reached the dry land and walked back to the base.

"How could you forget something like that?" Gabriel kept saying trying to gain her attention to the argument.

"Listen Gabe, calm down ok? I'm not the Nathalie you are talking about nor I am that Mayura or whatever her name is, I am Nathalie Sancoeur a naturalist not a supervillain or something"

Nathalie felt kinda offended by him calling her that, like, did she really looked like or acted like a supervillain?

Gabriel pouted.

"No, you are Nathalie Sancoeur my assistant"

Nathalie sighed.

"No, I'm not"

"You can't change the truth"

"Shut up Gabe"

Back to the base Nathalie went to their room Gabriel was constantly following her talking nonsense after nonsense.

"And that time we akumised Mr. Pigeon, you know that guy who loves pigeons a lot"

Mr. Pigeon? What?

"I can't really believe you forgot about everything we went through"

Nathalie was about to explode.

"Ok, listen Gabe, from what I seemed to understand, you made a wish using those things called Miraculous so you had your wife back, is it true?"

The man nodded.

Well, that was the short story.

"Ok then, if you had your wife back as you wished for, why are you complaining? You had what you wanted, go on with your life then"

Gabriel looked sad.

"The fact is that, I regret it"

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, I thought I needed my wife back to be happy but I was wrong"

Nathalie looked at him.

"What did you need to be happy then?"

"You"

That was unexpected.

"Me?"

"Yes, you have always been by my side, even at the darkest times, I kinda grew to like you so..."

Nathalie felt an unknown anger growing inside her.

"Then why did you make your wish? Why did you change our reality to bring your wife back?"

Why did she said this?

Why was she even angry?

"Because I wasn't brave enough to go on without her" Gabriel sighed.

Nathalie didn't really know what to think.

"I don't want to talk to you now Gabriel Agreste" she said.

"Why? Do you believe me?"

"No, I don't"

"Then why are you so angry?"

"I don't know" she said walking out of the room.

Maybe what Gabriel had said wasn't real but Nathalie knew for sure that her anger was.
