Ladybug departed from the park as fast as her yo-yo could take her. Leaving Chat Noir behind. Tears swelling in her eyes, his experience rang so true in herself. How could it be that they had such similar experiences with their ex-partners.

'I can't be there for him when I'm still coming to terms with my own issues from my time with Luka. I'm such a failure, I caused this. If I could have loved him as he loved me...I could have saved all his pain. I can't stand to see him like this.' Ladybug thought to herself as she aimlessly meandered her way through the city.

Tears stream down her face as sge searched for a solution, not knowing what to do, where to go. The Notre Dame bells could be heard chiming in the distance, it was 10 o'clock, they had been talking for over an hour.

'I wish these thoughts would stop, I can't see the light anymore, I just want to stop feeling, just for a while- I left Chat Noir, right when he needed me. I'm such a failure.' Ladybug internally contemplated dispairingly.

Ladybug knew she had to find something positive or she would leave herself vulnerable to become Akumatised.

'Stop.'

Ladybug finally dropped onto her roof. Her cheeks stained with tears that had fallen uncontrollably down her face. She was exhausted.

"Spots off."

The familiar figure of Tikki appeared before her also looking exhausted. Without words, Marinette handed her Kwami a cookie. Tikki took the cookie and they made their way through her roof hatch so she could continue to think about the situation further in the confines of her room.

'Don't go, why has she gone?'

Chat Noir reache out after Ladybug as she quickly got to her feet and swung away on her yo-yo. Despair in his eyes, sorrow in his soul. Tears formed in his eyes, ready to spill at any moment.

'Why has she gone? She's left me, left me here when I am most vulnerable. She looked afraid, M'Lady looked afraid. All the times we have fought along side each other-I have never seen her like that. What do I do, shall I go after her, would I catch her?'

Chat Noir collapsed on the floor, he put his head in his hands and let the tears cascade out. He was not sure and did not care how long he was like this, his emotional state of mind having overridden any need to be discreet. It was late, the chimes of the Notre Dame bells could be heard, it had just turned 10 o'clock.

'I'm crying, everything I have been back over this evening, everything I have relived has accumulated and I'm crying-Ladybug left. I don't want to go home, I can not go back to that caged life. I don't know what to do.' Chat hopelessly debated to himself. He lifted his head up and noticed the familiar bakery, the bakery with the best croissants he had ever tasted.

'Marinette- is it too late? Should I go and just check in on her, I haven't been to see her since...Kagami.' He hung his head in shame.

'Marinette is the kindest and most selfless person I have ever met... she has the ability to put others before her, her capacity to love is so great-why did I ever allow myself to lose her? Did I completely know my feeling for her back then, would it have been selfish of me to have gotten in the way of her and Luka?' Chat Noir found he was already making his way determinedly in the direction of the bakery, while his thoughts were still struggling to come together.

'But Ladybug is M'Lady. My bugaboo. They are similar yet different at the same time, their hair, their eyes-her eyes her smile. Could it be...'

Chat Noir silently made his way on to the roof terrace, and checked the entrance to her room, the hatch wasn't locked.
