This chapter contians the English version of the wall between us performed by Tom Sky Covers
As the door closes, Adrian collapses against the door into a sitting position. Tears came streaming down his face once more. Unable to be held back, he refuses to hold them back anymore, he just wants to feel anything but the suffocation, and all he knows right now is that the tears relieve a bit of the pressure inside him at that moment.
"...Kid?" Plagg asks hesitantly. Adrian slightly raises his head in acknowledgement that he heard his Kwame. "H-...ho-...how...how are you feeling?" he questions lightly.
The only reply that Plagg received was a choked sob of pain from his charge, trying to speak through his shattered heart as tears stained his cheeks. "You will get through this, kid. Maybe not right now, but if you let us help you, you will get through this situation."
Adrian pushed himself up and slowly walked to the bathroom with short, shallow breaths to steady his breathing, 'she's gone, she's truly gone,' he thought to himself as he got to the sink and splashed some water in his face.
"Why?... Why would he show me her like that? What does he want from me? Have I not been the perfect son? Have I not done all he asked of me?" he questioned quietly to nobody in particular. The Kwame flew above his charges head, watching him spiral into despair from the impact of the devastating reveal that he must live with. "I went to every photo shoot he organised. I went to every lesson in and out of school. I even got perfect grades, and I went to every fashion show, even organising my time off with Ladybug so that I could please him. So what could he possibly want from me?" He ranted. "What did I do wrong?" he croaked.
"Listen. Adrian, people like this. They don't see things that are right in front of them. People like this only see what they want to see, no matter who's in their way. People like Hawkmoth only see someone stopping their dreams from coming true and so don't care what happens to them, even if normally, they wouldn't dream of hurting them." Plagg reassured.
'Why do I have to choose. This shouldn't even have to be a choice.' Adrian thinks to himself. "I'm looking up. She's right behind me. Confidently she smiles but does she know that 'I see the game that she plays?" Adrian softly sings to himself.
Above a bakery, Marinette softly begins to sing back to the boy she secretly loves. "When I'm with him. I'm not myself. I stutter and blush, completely lost, my heart's beating fast, I can't catch my breath."
"Get away! That is all I can do. With my heart upside down. There's a power so strong, and it pulls me along through this wall between us." Adrian continues as he contemplates whom he should side with.
"Tell me why! Can't I just speak my mind'? I want him to be mine, want his light and his smile to surpass, for one night, every wall between us." Marinette continues wondering how she is going to fulfil her role as Ladybug.
"But I find; that when she's on my mind, there's this guilt within me. I can not help but flee towards my Ladybug 'cause it's her that I love" Adrian continues debating between saving his mother or supporting Ladybug.
"You and me. How I wish we could see through what keeps us apart. Through our masks and our hearts. We should fix this because there's a wall between us." They sing in unison, both of whom are in conflict.
"What do I want? Must I decide now? Could this be love? Or something else? How can I describe this feeling inside?" Adrian sings in contemplation.
"I know someday you'll realise we were meant to be, two halves, you and me. Holding you close, that's when we'll be home." Marinette continues dreamily.
"But if my heart is somewhere else, why do I still feel this warmth inside? My happiness grows through forces unknown." Adrian spirals.
"Emotions overflow. A wind of feelings starts to grow. It's taking over. I let go and close my eyes because I know. This is a one-time-chance. A magical romance." Marinette continues. "And now I know it's true, I want to shout across the roofs about the love I feel for you, but that is something I can't do because it's not our time. We have to wait a while, a little while. " she sings as she thinks back on the revelation of tonight's events. "I know someday we'll fly together. Trust me, my love, now and forever. I'll give you space to be who you are."
"What do I want? Must I decide now? Could this be love? Or something else? How can I describe this feeling inside?" Adrian continues to contemplate between his family and his duty.
"We'll be together as the sun sets. And when we rise, our feelings will last, my love for you, 'unmeasured by time'." They sing in unison, dreaming of a world without their conflicts.
"Though there's a wall between 'me and you. Love conquers all our feelings flow through. Powers combined, together we shine." Adrian looks out the window sadly as they continue to sing in unison, realising what he must do." I'll wait a lifetime. If you'll have me? My love is true. Call me crazy. But I'll love you infinitely." They finish.
""Ok, Plagg. I've decided. I'm going to speak with my father." Adrian stated with a blank look across his face as Plagg looked at his charge in worry.
