Marinette was freaking out now back stage, her soulmate had literally just watched her flirting with Luka while singing, she may not know this guy, but that didn't stop him from knowing her, or at least who she used to be, pacing in Luka's dressing room Marinette hadn't realized the show was over by now, and celebrity guests were being let backstage, including a blonde model who just so happened to be in the audience and recognized by the female bassist. Adrien simply smirked, him Alya and Nino had made it back stage without so much as a single word aside from Adrien saying that Alya and Nino were with him. He walked into the backstage area looking around, it seemed like he was looking for someone specifically, Marinette leaked her head out from behind Luka's dressing room door, her eyes widening when they met with the same emerald eyes that they'd met with on stage, they enchanted her and she slowly stepped out from behind Luka's dressing room door.

"Oh my god Adrien look it's actually her!" Alya's voice held excitement, as she ran up practically trampling the navy haired girl, Marinette looked extremely confused, pushing Alya off her Marinette took a step back towards Luka's dressing room, she looked physically ill, Luka rushed up to Marinette, ushering her into the dressing room, he sat her down and looked into her eyes. "Are you okay Mari?" He asked crouching to look into her eyes, she looked to be in a shell shocked state, her blue eyes wide, like she'd seen a ghost of her past. "Hey Luka, these people out here are saying they're old friends of Marinette's." The bassist Simone opened Luka's dressing room door, seeing him kneeling in front of the navy haired girl trying to comfort her. "I'll go talk to them, stay with her please." Luka got up ruffling Marinette's hair before leaving the room.

Luka looked at the 3 noticing the very obvious glare from the tall blonde, whose height almost matched his own. "Where's Marinette?" Alya asked wanting one more chance to hug her bestie. "Okay, before I can let anyone see her, we need to have a little chat." Luka lead the trio to a separate room where it was nice and quiet and he could explain anything that might confuse them, and see just how they knew her. "First things first, how do you know Mari?" He asked looking at the small group, he had to size these strangers up, they were requesting to see his girl after all.

Alya and Nino both looked to Adrien, which caused the blonde to sigh. "Guess I'll go first, I'm her soulmate." Adrien spoke up first, showing Luka his phone, and all the messages he'd exchanged with Marinette. "We've all known her for as long as we can remember, we grew up together then she just vanished out of nowhere." Alya added, Luka's eyes widened, Marinette's soulmate was standing directly in front of him, the girl he loved would be reunited with her soulmate if he let them meet. "So you're childhood friends, and you're her soulmate?" Luka questioned the trio nodding their heads and Adrien stepped slightly forward. "I have a question for you now, who are you to Marinette?" His green eyes showed anger. He needed to know why Marinette was so flirty with him on stage.

Luka suddenly got nervous, clearly this guy liked Marinette, whether he was her soulmate or not, Adrien was slightly intimidating in his own right, the fact that he was Marinette's soulmate also made him even more nervous to admit that he was Marinette's friend and ex-boyfriend. He cleared his throat before looking down at the floor trying to quickly describe his relationship with Marinette as a non-romantic one, though after her actions on stage, it was hard to say they never were in a romantic relationship.

Sighing as there was no other explanation, Luka looked Adrien straight in the eyes. "I'm just a friend, though I was her boyfriend for about 6 months, hence why she was so open with me on the stage, but there's nothing between us anymore, I just help her with her headaches when I'm in town." Luka raised his hands not wanting to seem like a threat to Marinette's relationship with her soulmate. "Oh... we should probably introduce ourselves then since your a friend of Marinette's, I'm Nino, this is Alya my girlfriend, and this is Adrien." Nino quickly introduced all of them, knowing Adrien would probably not want to do that after Luka said he was once Marinette's boyfriend. "You said headaches, she mentioned those over text, what are they from?" Adrien felt like he needed to know what the headaches were so that he could be the one there for Marinette instead of this Luka guy.

Luka let out a sigh, explaining everything to Marinette's old friends, from her memory loss, to her headaches being a symptom of it, all the way up to when she almost died 4 years ago. "That's why she doesn't remember any of you, so you all approaching her all of a sudden might overwhelm her and send her into the hospital if you're not careful." Luka explained briefly looking at the group, Alya was crying while Nino comforted her, and Adrien looked absolutely destroyed, that explained so much of why Marinette never asked about anyone, or said anything about her parents, they were gone. Marinette had almost gone with them, but paramedics saved her just in time. "Oh my God..." That was all any of them could say, there was no words to even try and describe what Marinette had gone through in 4 years, they all had a lot to relearn about her, she wasn't going to be the same person that they remembered from childhood, the girl that was obsessed with her soulmate, or the girl that wore her own designs even if they weren't quite right stitch wise.

Luka nodded solemnly as he saw all the looks on their faces, they were now grieving the loss of their friend. "Your Marinette, disappeared, to make way for the Marinette I know now."
