It had been 4 years since the final battle.
Marinette had just turned 20.
She was in college, majoring in design. But she still found time to patrol as Ladybug.
It wasn't as exhilarating; no akumas, only petty crimes. But it kept her active and it kept Paris safe.
Adrien moved away.
Could you blame him? The kid found out his dad was the villian who had it out for all of Paris!
He left for who knows where immediately after the event transpired.
Couldn't blame him for that either.
But Marinette could blame him for not saying goodbye.
Or not even bothering to write, text, email, facetime, ANYTHING! Anything to let her know he was ok.
Every day she asked Nino or Alya. Every day for 4 years. If they had heard from him.
And every day they shook their heads no.
And every day a little bit of her heart broke.
It wouldn't have been so bad...
If it weren't for the fact that the same thing happened with Chat.
