After the battle of Desperada, Kagami side-eyed Marinette.
Kagami: I guess I was wrong about you and Luka. But you have to choose who want you to be with, Marinette. You don't get a second chance with love.
Alya: She's right. Who do you want to be with? Adrien? Or Luka?
Marinette: I don't want to hurt any of them.
Alya: Just listen to your heart. Who do you think feels the same way about you? *Marinette looked at Adrien and Luka, talking. *
Marinette: 'I love Adrien, but he only sees me just a friend, nothing more. Guess it'll never happen between us. Why do I even bother trying to get his attention?'
Adrien: Hey.
Kagami: Hey. *She hugs Adrien. *
Marinette: 'Kagami likes Adrien, so it's only fair for him to be happy, even if it is just a crush.'
Alya: You good?
Marinette: Yeah, I'm good. In fact... I think I know what I have to do. *Alya pats her shoulder. *
Alya: There you go.
Adrien: Hey, Marinette.
Marinette: Oh, hey.
Adrien: Earlier today, I saw something special about you and Luka.
Marinette: You did, huh?
Adrien: Yeah, I did. And I want to say...
Marinette: Look, Adrien. I just need to say this because I know I've been struggling to even say it to you for a while.
Adrien: What is it? Did I do something? *Kagami looks at Marinette too. *
Alya: Are you sure you want to do this?
Marinette: 'In the shortest way, yes.' It's the only way. 'Might as we'll get it over with.' I love you. There! I said it. I know you don't feel the same way, you'll reject me and be in love with who you think is perfect for you. I'll accept it. This is your life. *Adrien looked a bit stunned, Juleka and Rose saw what happened. *
Adrien: I...I don't know what to say.
Marinette: Don't. I know you got nothing to say, I'm going home. *She walked out of the boat and Alya looked out and she felt bad for Marinette. *
Kagami: I'm sure she didn't mean that, Adrien.
Adrien: No. I need to talk to her, I can't see my friend sad.
Alya: No need, I'll do that. Just... give her some space.
Adrien: (sad) 'I wasn't expecting that from Marinette. Should I be happy about what she said? I don't know anymore.'
