Marinette has been harassed and bullied by her classmates, both physically and verbally. Adrien thinks Lila's lies don't hurt anyone, but he doesn't that she'd turned everyone against Marinette. When Marinette gets beaten to the point where she can't take it anymore, Felix finds her, broken and bruised. Felix takes care of her, and Marinette discovers a soft side to him that she never knew existed. (Story is about secrets, violence, lies, betrayal, trust, and love :)
