As Marinette and her family walk home, Marinette refuses to make eye contact with her parents, knowing that her glare would only make things worse.
"Marinette… let's talk about this…" Her dad insisted.
"There's nothing to talk about" she grumbled, "You and mom made the decision for me."
Sabine sighed. "Marinette… please…"
Marinette ignored her and kept walking. I just want this horrible day to be over with. She thought.
When they reached the house, Marinette stormed up to her room, knowing Tikki was going to talk to her.
"Marinette… I know your upset, but Hawk Moth will akumatize you… and you have your Miraculous…"
Marinette clenched her fist. "Then maybe you should give it to someone else!" She yelled. "Why do I have to be ladybug when I can't even control my own anger?!" Marinette took off her earrings and held them tightly in her hand. "I just can't take it anymore Tikki… I can't pretend anymore…"
"You don't have to pretend… Just believe in yourself."
"The only way I can't pretend is if I tell everyone my identity! Why can't I live a normal life, like my parents?! I'm tired of this!" She cried.
"Marinette…" Tikki whispered, "I understand your anger… it happens to the best of us. But-"
"No. Don't try to convince me Tikki. It's not worth it." Tikki looked down, to avoid her owner's glare. "Nobody believes me anymore… and I'm sick and tired of it."
Marinette was about to blow. Nobody believed her, and she has so many responsibility's that she can't control.
Meanwhile at the Agreste mansion, Gabriel was having a serious conversation with Adrien, when his pendent went off, brighter than ever before.
"Uh… I'll be right back…" He said as he darted out of the room.
"Father?" Adrien wondered.
Plagg flew out of Adrien's pocket, "What was that all about? And does he have a glow in the dark tie?"
"I'm not sure… Maybe he's not feeling well… but why would my father own a glow in the dark tie? He's way more mature than that."
"You never know." Plagg shrugged.
Meanwhile…
"FLY AWAY MY LITTLE AKUMA AND EVILIZE HER!"
