Ladybug summoned her magical ladybugs. Chat looked at his table, and was relieved that a few leftover macaroons were spared by the swarm. He reached for one absently and nibbled on it. Ladybug meanwhile paced around the room, worried about lack of Adrien.
'We must find out what happened that Shadowmoth sent out so many sentimonsters' Ladybug said, a bit harshly. 'You said Adrien was earliest that you know? We must locate him. Otherwise we're out of luck. Maybe the Ladyblogger will know something.'
'The Ladyblogger? You mean she'd see it begin?' Chat hesitated. Ladyblogger, Alya, Rena Rouge.
'She was filming at least some of it' Ladybug shrugged. 'Say, Adrien told you identities of Rena and Carapace...?'
'No' Chat shook his head. 'Just that civilian Carapace told him. Why?'
Ladybug sighed with relief.
'No reason' she shrugged, still hoping her identity was safe. Chat perked up.
'Uh, maybe we'll find Adrien easier if we separate?' he offered. He had a good way to let Ladybug find him. 'I'm sure he's okay. He must have left by his own will.'
'Okay...' Ladybug sighed. 'Bug out!'
She was gone. And moments later Chat also slipped away, detransformed and made his way to nearby park. Ladybug would find him soon.
She came and grabbed his shoulders. He could see faint blush on her face.
'Adrien! Are you okay? How did it all happen?' she asked frantically. 'You aren't hurt, are you?'
'No, no... I'm not hurt... why would I be?' he sounded confused.
'Uh... sentimonster attack?'
'You mean sentimonster that cuddled me and fed me treats, helped me relax and even did some happiness boost? I wish we had sentimonsters like this every day' Adrien sighed. 'Look. I'm fine' he insisted. But he didn't look fine - he looked tense and his anguish was badly concealed.
'It doesn't look like you're fine' Ladybug frowned. 'If that sentimonster left lasting effects...'
'I said I'M FINE!' Adrien pushed her away. Ladybug looked at him in shock.
'I was wondering why Shadowmoth would even create a sentimonster like this! Did it say anything?'
'No. Nothing. It just... relaxed me' Adrien sighed. 'It wasn't running amok or destroying stuff left and right, so I just enjoyed some hugs and macaroons. Did you destroy it?'
'No... apparently Shadowmoth did' Ladybug admitted. Adrien sighed.
'So it's all okay. It's gone' he shrugged and walked to the mansion. There, he closed his window and collapsed onto bed. Plagg hovered around, concerned.
'I thought you were in love with Ladybug' he said.
'You're right' Adrien huffed. 'I was.'
