They say love makes you stronger, but not when you're sitting on a throne built on lies. Chat Noir and Marinette explore the complexities of a relationship that was built on anything but the truth, and carefully walk a tightrope as their secrets are revealed. When Chat Noir loses his battle to an akuma and turns into someone Marinette no longer knows - Marinette must explore if it's possible to rebuild the trust they once had - or if that trust was a fallacy all along.
