TW: self harm, abuse, violence

"What is this!?"

"ANSWER ME!"

sounds of glass hitting the floor makes Adrian flinch in fear
"I'm sorry" he says "I-it won't happen again...I'm sorry...father I'm sorry" Adrian says lowering his head trying to avoid eye contact with his father

"It's that school isn't it!? Running around the streets with a random girl like this!? Absolutely NOT!! This is not how I raised you!" Gabriel Agrest says as he slowly approaches Adrian

"I'm sorry I-I won't do it again" Adrian says backing up and looking around for help, all the workers look down avoiding his eyes afraid of the sadness and loneliness in his gaze
But then someone comes in between the father and son

"May I clean this up master?" Liam says looking at Adrian with a smile

"Do as you wish" Gabriel says in annoyance he then walks away from them but pauses to say one more thing "Adrian you do not leave this house without permission from me, understand?"

"Y-yes father"

"Go up" Liam whispers
Adrian nods smiling at him and goes up the stairs.
Liam looks around at the workers and they look back shamefully and apologetically

"It's alright...go back to work" he says giving everyone a smile assuring them all everything will be okay, everyone nods and goes back to what they were doing.

"Adrian are you okay?"

"I'm fine Plagg, have you eaten?"

"Yeah I'm good"

"Okay then Plagg claws out!"

Adrian transforms and jumps out the window towards a ship and jumps in through the window

"I have to see him...he'll make me feel better"

"Lulu~" he says entering slowly into the window

"Told you not to call me that Chat, it's killing my street game"

"Oh my apologies hot stuff" Chat says sarcastically and chuckles before looking at the guitar in Luka's hands "play something for me Luka"

"No thanks"

"Why not" Chat says in a whiny voice

"I have homework that's why"

"Do it later"

"I would but it's due tomorrow...wait! Speaking of school! Do you go to school Chat?! How old are you anyways? are you like secretly 70 years old!? Or maybe you're 12!? Oh my god!"

Chat stares at Luka with an expression torn between how stupid he is and how he will answer the question, the expression on Luka's face causes Chat to laugh "You are so stupid"

"But how old are you really?"

"Old enough! Play something! I'll tell you if you play"

"I'll play if you tell me" Luka says looking at Chat

Chat rolls his eyes "I'm leaving" he says attempting to jump out of the window
"Okay okay! I'll play!"

Chat rolls his eyes "I'm leaving" he says attempting to jump out of the window "Okay okay! I'll play!"

"What do you want me to play?"

"Anything" Chat says as he walks near Luka and sits on the bed, Luka starts strumming the guitar and playing, the soothing sound coming from his guitar makes Chat zone out.

"It's so beautiful...I wanna hear this everyday...my world is so loud I want this to be the only thing I hear...I want to escape life...I wanna get rid of this hurt "

He then all of a sudden gets up
"Bye Luka" Chat says out of nowhere and rushes to the window
"W-wait! Chat I didn't f—!" Before Luka could finish his sentence Chat had long been gone
"-finish..."

Adrian's House
"Plagg Claws In"

"W-what now Adrian?"

"N-nothing hold on" Adrian says rummaging though his stuff

"Pain..pain...gotta get rid of the pain...where is it!?"

"What are you looking for Adrian? Why are you panicking!?"

"Nothing! Wait a second!"

"What is it?!?" Plagg says chasing Adrian around the room looking for whatever he's looking for

"Y-you!!" Adrian screams making the Kwami back up away from him

"W-what? What did I do?"

"You threw them OUT!?"

"W- threw wh- oh my goodness Adrian! Not again! NO! I did throw them out because I know you're better then that!! There's a better way to deal with it!"

Adrian stares at Plagg unimpressed
"Plagg Claws out" Adrian transforms and rips a metal piece off the belt on his cat suit

"UGH!" Plagg screams

"Claws in" he says transforming back to human and looking at Plagg with a cold expression

"W-why would you do that?"

Adrian does not answer the question and instead grabs the Kwami and pushes it into a closet although the hears the Kwami screaming he proceeds by locking it

"No ADRIAN!"

"ADRIAN!"

Adrian then walks to the bed and sits taking the metal piece against his wrist and begins cutting multiple times watching the blood fall to the floor, with no emotions on his face he repeats this action for a while, feeling numb and finally escaping reality.
