"I'm Back."

"Marinette~♡"

The following day Marinette presented her recoloured and retouched designs to Mr. Agreste. Since she had a clear vision, and a clear schedule, it made it easier for her to finish the sketches before days passed.

She walked to work that morning feeling a little more free than usual. Recently not many akumas have been flying around as usual.

Marinette liked to think that Hawkmoth is busy with his life outside being the most annoying villain ever, but that would mean that he is Parisian like the rest of them.

To think that the big bad that wants to ruin the balance of the universe could just be another guy, a citizen just like herself.

In this moment she wonders what drives people to commit acts of evil.

There must be a reason.

How could someone usually known as gentle be a stone cold killer.

At first she thought I had to do with some kind of agentic state of mind that people enter before doing such acts but that would take an authority figure.

She knew that everyone individually had their reasons for things but she could never understand how a person could bring themself to hurt or destroy another person's life whether for revenge or jealousy.

She knows that she is no saint and that she has done bad things out of jealousy. But never to an extent to which it may even be considered 'a sin against mankind' by anyone...

This is why she will never understand him. Why would he- no... How could he bring himself to?

No matter how much she...

How could one get so caught up in their own revenge that they become the reason a husband couldn't return home to see his wife and kids after work, the reason a mother couldn't see her son again...

No... She can't do it.

No matter how much you care for a person it doesn't excuse the fact that they have done bad things...

Enough! Pondering useless things will not get you anywhere.

Some people are just different from you and you need to take that answer and forget abt it.

It's a stupid question...

Power corrupts absolutely and that's the truth, which is why Hawkmoth can never get a hold of her and Cat Noir's miraculous.

She cannot let him get away with this. She will stop him no matter the cost.

No matter how much she wishes she could understand him...

A/N: Him? I wonder who Marinette's on about. That internal monologue seemed a bit personal ngl 🤭

She was finally at the large gates to the Agreste's residence. She pressed the buzzer waiting for an answer.

She heard the voice of Mr. Agreste's loyal assistant Natalie answer greeting her and informing her to walk in through the now open gates.

She pushed the gate door inwards and walked in, the metal gate closing behind her before locking with a click.

The grandiose path towards the main entrance seemed so familiar yet foreign to her. The expensive cars parked around the main path.

She made it to the main door pressing another button that would call someone to open the door.

She waited with her bag in hand. No matter how many times she dies this it will never not be awkward standing in front of the door waiting for someone to open up for her.
