---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  One unfaithful day, Marinette was called into the principles office to get rushed to the hospital. Not because of her issues, but her father's. It was discovered that for quite some time Marinette's father had had lung cancer and it wasn't noticed until now. There was no tracking on how long he had left to live, but they hoped he could surpass the illness. 

 Turns out, he couldn't. Tom Dupain died one month later, causing hell for Marinette. The funeral was upsetting, even with Alya, Adrien and Nino being there to support her after they heard what happened. 

 Marinette locked herself in her room, and fell into a dark void; an abyss of nothingness. She wouldn't want to transform into Ladybug for patrols, luckily there were no Akuma attacks.She lost the glimpse of light in her eyes, the happiness in her smile and the joyful person she was. She became depressed, emotional and less confident. 

 Every night, Marinette would take a sharp object (usually a needle from her sewing kit) and carve into herself. She would cut into her flesh, and let the blood case her fore-arm. She did this awhile before a unexpected guest arrived.

 Chat Noir was at the window. She wondered why he was there, but didn't bother asking. She opened the window to let him in and that's when their friendship begun.

 Will Marinette ever become her true self again?
