Chapter one

March 25, 22:36 pm Central European Time, 2018

I walked around the Chat Noir memorial, caressing the sign dedicated to him. I can feel the tears bubbling in my chest as Ayla rest's a hand on my shoulder in a failed attempt to comfort me. It was silent in the once happy park, a veil of the taste of death hung around the bearen park, casting the smell of mildew into my nose. I could vaguely hear the distant footsteps of somebody, but really, I could only see his face. His beautiful face, engraved to the detail in stone. Even more, I could feel someone's hand on my shoulder. Who was it, Ayla, Chloe, Nino? I didn't care. Just like earlier, I hadn't cared about the maths test, or the rude man in a hoodie I bumped into, or the team asking to step in for my for patrol, or the girl with familiar eyes who asked me about Adrien.

"Hey, I-I" Ayla whispers in my ear, and for a moment, I feel a ping of sympathy for her, because she's hurting too. But then, we look at the sign again, and we both go numb;

Chat Noir, beloved defender of Paris.

〜The smallest coffins,

are always the heaviest〜

May our much-loved hero rest in peace.

I cry into my best friend's shoulder as she let the liquid run down her bare arm. As I sobbed, I muttered to Ayla, clutching the foxtail necklace the hung loosely at the hem of her shirt.

I try to form words, to say anything really, to not drown in my sorrows and be trapped in chains of pain. Yet every time I open my mouth, nothing comes out, just empty promises and broken oaths. At that moment, I wish I could go back to a time, before I lost him, to see his eyes, and to feel what it's like to love again.
