[ Book 1 ] "I was fine without you when you weren't planning on coming back! I had to move on or it would have killed me! And here you are now." "Kitty, I'm so sorry." Ladybug steps forward and places a hand on my shoulder. Either a tear or raindrop runs down her cheek. I can't tell. "I promise, I never meant to do this to you. I thought I was careful. But you have to remember this isn't permanent-" "No, don't do that to me." Tears fall as I shake my head at her. "You can't leave and come back and leave again and promise to come back. My heart's had enough." Ladybug looks hurt. "So, what, do you hate me now or something?" "I could never hate you, Ladybug! I love you! I have always loved you! Do you know long I spent waiting for you to come back? Long enough that I put my feelings for someone else on hold. I'm with someone now and I can't turn my back on her. I can't just go back and pretend like nothing changed." "I'm glad you've found someone to make you happy, Cat Noir." Ladybug smiles and it fades away as her earrings beep. Only a few minutes left.

[ Book 2- SEQUEL to Spots Off ] "So, you're a fighter, Marinette Dupain-Cheng," Monsieur Paon interrupts. "H-How do you know my name?" I cough out. Monsieur Paon kneels beside me, ignoring my question, and as he raises his hand, I flinch-fully expecting him to hit me-but he gently touches my forehead. "You're bleeding," He points out. "W-What?" I ask, confused. I stare up at him. Why isn't he hurting me? Sure, he doesn't know I'm Ladybug (so technically I'm not an enemy right now), but he's partners with Miss Farfalle-who likes to wreak chaos in this city-so any bystander is an enemy worth fighting, right? "Are you okay?" I ignore the pain as I sit up and ask him, "What's wrong with you?" He laughs. "Excuse me?" "I know who you are, Monsieur Paon. You're that new villain attacking Paris," I remind him. "Why are you being nice to me?" Monsieur Paon stands and offers his hand. "Would you rather I wasn't? Do you want me to treat you like those two men did?" I glance back at them and before I can ask, he adds, "I didn't kill them-although they'd deserve it and I'm sure your boyfriend would agree with me-in case you were wondering." I stare up at Monsieur Paon. If he were going to hurt me, he'd have let those two men carry on with what they were planning. He wouldn't have gone through the trouble of saving me... right? - - - Adrien hasn't been the same since that unforgettable day six months ago-defeating Hawkmoth, his mother waking up, and three miraculous being stolen, including his own.

Cat Noir squeezes her hand. "Please... I need you to stay." A tear sneaks down Marinette's cheek. "Kitty, that's very sweet of you to say, but you're not the one I want begging me to stay." "You mean Adrien, right?" She nods with tears in her eyes. "Yes, and he's not here, so neither am I. I have to go. Goodbye, Cat Noir."
