"Dudes, there is no way you can pull this off." Nino remarked, crossing his arms defensively as he stood before Adrien and Alya sitting on a bench before him on the school's campus.

"What's with the attitude?" Alya asked in confusion as she and Adrien were looking at commission cakes from the Dupain-Cheung bakery.

"Yeah, don't you want to help plan a party for our friend?" Adrien asked.

Nino sighed heavily at his two friends. "You two are new, so you don't know, but every time Marin's had a birthday, it's turned into a disaster." He explained much to his friend's surprise. "We've all tried, and we've all failed, so at this point, he either stays home or just walks around the city doing his own thing."

"That seems like a little bit of an exaggeration," Adrien remarked in disbelief.

"Yeah, well everyone thought Juleka's jinx wasn't a real thing too." He pointed out.

"Okay granted, but that was broken, so if that can be broken, then this string of bad birthdays will be broken," Alya remarked as she and Adrien bumped fists while Nino sighed.

"Yeah, Team surprise part is a go!" Alya and Adrien cheered together, filled with determination as they high-fived. Walking past Nino who looked at them in exasperation.

"Not like any of us haven't tried that before, but go off I guess." He sighed as he followed after his eager friends.

Marin walked up to Juleka, "Hey, here are those photos you-" He said holding out an envelope of printed photos as he noticed Juleka had a bicycle pump in her locker. "Oh, do you have a flat again?" He asked in concern. "Need some help?"

Juleka mumbled something under her breath shyly, stepping into her locker and closing it.

Marin tried to process what just happened. He knocked on the locker door, "Jules? Do you want me to get Rose?" He asked, only hearing mumbling. "Okay, I'm going to find Rose. He said walking into the courtyard.

He spotted Nino on a nearby bench, writing something down on a paper pad.

"Nino." Marin called, then noticed that he had a furrowed brow, deep in focus. He caught his attention by walking in front of him. Nino looked up to him in surprise, dropping his headphones on the ground.

Marin picked it up, hearing a familiar tune being played.

"Uh- wait!" Nino said in vain as Marin put on the headphones. After a few moments, Marin started to laugh, "What is this? Are you finally coming around to acoustic tracks?" He asked jokingly as Nino grabbed his headphones back with annoyance.

"We both know I leave and breath techno, don't insult me." He remarked turning off the music.

"Fair enough, have you seen Rose? Juleka locked herself in her locker."

"Again?" Nino questioned as he sighed, sitting back down." I don't know, check the classroom?" He recommended as he turned his music back on, looking visibly sickened.

"So, what do you think? The park?" Alya asked as she and Adrien were sitting together, writing ideas down on paper.

"Yeah," Adrien agreed as they both spotted Marin walking in. "Uh, uh... yes, Alya! I know a very good dentist and here's his number!" Adrien said tearing up the paper and handing a piece to Alya who kept up the facade.

"Hey guys have you seen Rose?" Marin asked, undeterred.

"Nope." Alya immediately responded as she and Adrien smile to deter any sort of suspicion.

Marin looked between the two, humming to himself as he slowly left the room. "Alright." He responded. As soon as he left the room both Adrien and Alya sighed. She uncrumpled the paper Adrien tore up, trying to smooth it out as she took out some tape from her bag.

"So what do you think he'd like?" Adrien asked as Alya shrugged her shoulders.

"He's the type to just be happy with whatever."

"Well, that's no help." Adrien grimaced as his guardians were exactly the same. Part of him grimaced, thinking about gifting one of his closest friends a pen. Even though he'd probably appreciate it.

"Then go old school, make him something," Alya advised as Adrien looked up thoughtfully. Then he took out the lucky charm from his bag, getting an idea.

Marin sighed heavily as he rested on the railing on his rooftop porch. He took out a worn-out envelope out of his back pocket, his gaze lingering on it for a few moments. Before Tikki flew up to him, hovering before him happily.

"Marin, this is quite a special day for you!" Tikki said with a smile as Marin's previous anxiety faded for a moment. He pocketed the letter as he allowed Tikki to rest on the palms of his hands.

Marin hummed for a moment. "Not really. Did you need anything?"

"There's a ritual we kwamis perform on a day like this!" Tikki announced with a smile as her expression turned sheepish, uncertain. "I don't know if you humans would like it. I'm uncertain if you guys even give each other presents on your birthday."

"It's a pretty common practice," Marin said factually, nuzzling his Kwami's cheek affectionately. "You didn't have to get me anything sugar cube. You remembering my birthday is enough." But Tikki shook her head.

"I didn't get you anything, I made you something!" She said proudly. "A kwami specialty."

Marin felt a pit in his stomach as he almost hated receiving gifts, but put on a smile. "Oh, that so awesome! What is it?"

Tikki hovered before him, doing an adorable little dance as she then spat something shining into his hands, which surprised him greatly. "Ta-Da! Miraculous birthday, Marin!"

Marin tilted his head slightly in confusion, slightly disgusted, his expressions didn't go unnoticed. "Oh no, you don't like it, do you?" Tikki said in disappointment.

He wanted to deny it outright but was still too confused to put up a facade."...Please tell me what you spit into my hands."

Tikki lifted her head. "A Kwagatama. A great symbol of friendship among us kwamis. We take the hair from our Miraculous holder and join it to the hairs of all the former Miraculous holders. And with them we grow a magic resin for a few months and... I know you don't wanna tell me because you don't want to hurt my feelings but it's obvious you don't like it."

"No-no sugar cube I love it. It's just...have you been eating my hair?" He had to ask after hearing her explanation but received one as she giggled nervously. "Oh that is so gross, but I appreciate the sentiment." He said hugging his Kwami close, he then went down to his room.

"So what are you going to do on your day?" Tikki asked with a smile.

"Well, I have to stop by somewhere, but then I'm going to help Alya take her sister to the dentist at four o'clock today."

Tikki tilted her head curiously at him. "Do you humans always celebrate your birthday by going to the dentist?"

Marin chuckled as he grabbed his messenger bag off his sofa. "No, of course not, Tikki. She just needs a favor, her sisters are a handful after all. Maybe I should stop by early..." He thought out loud to himself. "Wanna come with?" He asked with a smile as Tikki was already in his bag.

["Hello?"] Marin said peering into the bakery. His parents froze in place, in the middle of decorating a large cake. Tom immediately hides the cake in the garbage and sits on the lid while Sabine leans on the counter looking normal. "I'm heading out now."

"So early?"

"Yeah, any mail come for me?" Marin asked, looking at the pile on the table.

"No not today heart." Sabine said. "We'll be baking all day today. Why don't you go and play outside?" His mother said as Tom he sat atop the trash can.

Marin looked over the scene,"Did a catering order come in?" he asked.

"What? No!" Tom said immediately. "We don't even make cakes here!"

Sabine sighed, "Yes, it's quite a large one."

Marin nodded, "Alright, I'm going out, I'll be at Alya's if you need me." He then heard the doorbell ring.

Opening it up he saw a woman about his height standing before him with an Italian motorcycle parked behind her. She was holding her helmet at her side and was wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses. He stared at her for a moment before he called out.

"Dad, I think it's for you." He said as he walked past her and towards the bus stop. He overheard his parents yelling out as he walked down the streets. As soon as he left the vicinity whoever that person was, was now his parent's problem. While he was passing by the park he noticed a group of people were setting up what looked to be a party of sorts.

"Okay, we've has a few hiccups." Alya said as everyone was setting up in the park "But in a few more hours it'll be perfect, I promise!" she reassured as everyone cheered in support.

"It's almost done, don't you need to get Marin soon?" Adrien asked, but she brushed him off.

"Relax I'm picking him up at his place, we'll have plenty of time so long as nothing goes wrong."

Marin ran the doorbell on Alya's apartment and was greeted by her big sister who towered over him in height.

"Hiya Nora, is Alya here? I was supposed to meet her today."

"It's Anansi baker boy, and no, she left to meet her friends." She informed as her younger sister peeked out from behind her.

"Marin!" They both cheered as they hugged his legs. "What did you bring us!?" They both asked at the same time as their sister had to pull them off, holding them like kittens.

"Hey-that's rude, you don't just ask for gifts from anyone at the door. Apologize." She ordered as her younger sisters hung their heads.

"We're sorry." They said simultaneously as Marin shook his head.

"It's alright. I didn't bring any treats because Alya and I are taking them to the dentist today." Marin informed as Alya's younger sisters then started squirming in their eldest sister's arms, yelling out in panic as Nora held them in her arms.

"What? I'm the only one with a dentist appointment today." Nora informed. "You don't get teeth as straight as mine without a monthly trip. Especially with my profession." She remarked. "But it sounds like you misheard."

Marin hummed for a moment. "Huh, maybe I did. Oh well, would you mind telling Alya I'm sorry for misunderstanding then?"

"No problem bakery boy, you wanna come in? Hey!" She offered as her sisters still squirmed furiously trying to escape, now thrashing around.

Marin chuckled as he booped the twin's noses as he saw Alya do with Manon. "You two be nice for your sister, and next time I visit I'll show you how to bake the best chocolate cupcakes, promise?"

His heart melted as he saw both of their eyes light up. "Yes!" They agreed as Nora sighed in relief.

"Thanks kid." She said as Marin nodded, closing the door for her as he walked down the hall. Tikki hovered before him curiously.

"What now? Are you going home?" She asked.

"No...I'd rather just go around the city. We can get some ice cream for you if you like." He smiled as Tikki's eyes lit up.

"Yes, please! Can we try to find Andre?" She asked, "I read online that his ice cream is the best."

Marin stopped walking, a troubled look overtook him for a moment before it shook it off, then smiling for Tikki. "I just need to stop by somewhere first, then we can go find him." He said as Tikki flew up to nuzzle him happily.

Alya and Adrien were stunned as they both stood before Marin's front door at around 2 pm, just to make sure everything was running smoothly. There was yelling inside as Sabine opened the door with a smile on her face.

"Hello dears." She greeted as Adrien and Alya looked in, seeing Marin's father arguing with a relatively old woman. "I thought Marin was with you." She said as both Alya and Adrien shared a worried glance.

"Why would you think that ?" Adrien hesitantly asked as Sabine spoke up.

"Because he said that he was going to Alya's place. He left about an hour ago."

Alya immediately grabbed Adrien's shoulders. "We need to find our boy, I'll call my sister. You look around our usual hangouts."

Marin lowered his head, sighing as he stood before an old looking house. He held a worn-out letter in his hand, crumpled, slightly torn, watermarked...but still here. He noticed all the mail that was stacked up together, crumpled and water damaged, abandoned. Reflexively he dug through the pile, picking up one that was heavily damaged. Even though nothing went through, he couldn't help but feel hurt. If he dug through the mail, he was certain that he'd find almost a decade's worth of letters unopened.

"Hey, Marin."

He turned back to see a familiar delivery man holding a sack of flour in his hands.

"Hi Gilbert, how are you?" Marin asked as he opened the gate for the delivery man.

"Same as I am every year." He remarked with a smile. "You going inside today?" He asked as Marin shook his head.

"Nah, I was just dropping by to see the place." He said with a smile, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Alright if you say so. Happy Birthday." Gilbert said as he walked into the house, leaving the younger boy on his own.

"Thanks..." He smiled half-heartedly as he clutched the letter in his hand. He turned back for a moment, putting the letter in the mailbox before walking away, seconds before realizing he had no frame of reference to where the heck Andre could be.

Adrien was in his bodyguards' car, looking around the city for his friend. He received a text from Alya saying that he'd left her place about an hour ago. There was still half an hour to go before the party started. So they had to find him fast-

The car then suddenly halted as Adrien looked at his driver in confusion. "Why'd we stop?" He asked, then noticed who was sitting on a bench on top of the bridge.

"Thanks!" Adrien said quickly as he jumped out of the car, leaving his bodyguard to circle around as his bodyguard parked nearby on the street.

" Hey, Marin..." He greeted, his warm greeting fading as he noticed his friend hadn't noticed him yet. "Uh." Adrien walked up to him, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. The taller boy flinched back as he came to attention. He looked up at him in surprise, his frazzled expression could be seen as cute, but Adrien knew better than to say it out loud.

"Hi!" Marin stammered out as Adrien folded his hands behind him. He had to buy time until Alya could send him the signal.

"Hi." Adrien smiled, "Mind if I sit here?" He asked politely as Marin nodded, scooting away even though there was already some distance between them. "So uh, funny running into you here." Adrien stammered as Marin shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess, what are you doing here?" Marin asked as Adrien was at a loss for words.

" Uh-I...was looking for you!" Adrien was at a loss for words. "I...I have a problem!" He spat out suddenly, surprising both boys but now Adrien was rolling with this..."problem". " I, uh, there's this huge thing coming up, and I'm terrified."

" Huge thing?" Marin asked in confusion.

"Yeah, huge thing, huge...event. And honestly, I'm worried that I'll mess up."

"Those fencing try-outs…?" Marin asked as Adrien immediately nodded. "But you're instructing aren't you?"

"Yes, those. I am nervous because ...I think I will mess those up." He said, saying anything that popped into his head.

" You?" Marin tilted his head towards Adrien, baring an expression of disbelief. " But you're perfect." He said as Adrien noticed that Marin's entire body went into shock after he had said that. " I MEAN-UH-"

But Adrien smiled, relaxing as he giggled in amusement. "Thanks, but I'm not perfect. Honestly, I get a little scared every time someone puts any attention on me."

" Really? But you make it look so natural."

Adrien nodded his thanks, "It's my job to make it look natural."

Marin looked away for a moment, in deep thought as he turned back to his friend with a calm expression. "Do you still have that charm I gave you?"

" Your lucky charm?" Adrien questioned, taking it out of his pocket and handing it to his friend. "Of course, I take it everywhere."

" It's a charm of boundless courage. If it helped you play better maybe it'll help with this, huge event you're so worried about. Do you mind?" Marin asked as Adrien nodded, though he wasn't sure what exactly for. Marin took the bracelet, tying it around his friend's wrist. He put both of Adrien's hands together, keeping his own over them. "If ever you feel uncertain, then clap your hands together and say these words." Marin was about to say, but then his face turned red, "You can't laugh."

Adrien looked at his friend, dumbfounded for a moment as to how he ever could. "Never." He said honestly as Marin sighed his face still red even though for the first time since they met, he made direct eye contact with the taller boy, mesmerized by how blue eyes were.

" I am Adrien Agreste. I'm a fantastic person, an amazing friend, and am someone whose confidence inspires others. But above all," Marin said seriously, with a smile on his face. "I have a beautiful smile."

"Seems like an exaggeration." Adrien stammered as he tried to push his embarrassment from reaching the surface, but he could feel a blush threatening to surface, but then it quickly faded as Marin slapped his hands on his. "OW!"

"It only seems that way because you have no idea how happy you can make other people," Marin said sincerely- how could he say these things so easily? To him of all people!

Adrien was at a loss for words, he lowered his head as he grasped the bracelet that was attached to his wrist. He then lifted his head in confusion as something rang in his ears. "Do you hear singing?" he asked but didn't have time to respond as all of a sudden, a witch hovered before them on a flying motorcycle from behind the bridge with what looked to be a fairy flying behind her.

"Dun dun dun I've found you mio piccolo principe!" The villainess announced and promptly pointed a gun towards him.

"Principe?" Marin questioned as he reacted quickly, pushing Adrien out of the way as the villain shot something at them, blackening the bench into...coal?

" Tsk tsk, mio principle, you wouldn't want to anger Nonna Befana would you?"

" Befana?" Adrien questioned, as he took a step back, noticing that Befana's attention was centered on his friend as she fired towards him. Marin dove for cover under a bench, but before Adrien could run to him, he was suddenly scooped up and thrown into the car only able to watch his classmate evade a villain.

"Marin!" Adrien called out as his bodyguard entered the car.

" I'll be fine, just go!" Marin called as he just narrowly evaded one of Befana's shots, sprinting for cover near a car as Befana and her fairy chased after him.

Adrien growled as he quickly opened the door on the other side of the vehicle. Dashing under the bridge as his kwami flew out.

"Plagg, claws out!"

Marin scrambled to evade them, heading out onto the streets as he could hear people's screams littering the roars of Befana's motorbike.

" Mio picolo principe, you can't get away!" She warned with a hint of glee in her words. All of a sudden the fairy tackled into him, sending him tumbling onto the street. He grunted as he was lifted off the ground, bound by the fairy with a gun to his face.

" Naughty, Naughty Marin." Befana scolded with a sadistic smile drawn on her face. "Don't you love your poor Nonna?"

" Nonna?" Marin questioned before his eyes widened with realization, all too late as he saw her pull the trigger. Flinching at the click of the barrel opening, but he remained intact.

" Ah?!" Suddenly there was a clang as Befana was knocked back off her bike while her fairy was in a tree passed out.

" You know for a lady," Chat Noir smirked as he grabbed his friend in his arms." I dare say that wasn't your best foot forward."

Marin suddenly felt relieved as he glanced towards the superhero in front of him. "Chat Noir!"

"Heard there was someone harassing my Macaroon, hope you don't mind me crashing." He remarked as Marin sighed, shaking his head.

" No way."

" Ugh!" Both turned towards Befana who had an enraged expression, " My little fairy, take out the bad kitty!" She commanded as her minion turned on Chat Noir, taking the chance to refill her gun.

Marin glanced at her weapon, empty of bottle of pellets, the canister she was using to replenish it, his eyes widening with realization as Chat Noir wrapped his arm around his waist.

"Pardon my forwardness," he winked playfully as he extended his staff faster than the fairies could fly far above the city line.

Marin gasped fearfully as he grasped Chat Noirs neck closing his eyes out of fear there was no way he could transform into Ladybug. Meaning if he fell, a horrifying thought, there would be no safety net.

"Scared?" Chat Noir asked with a bemused grin on his face, the taller boy sitting on his thigh, trembling as his eyes were shut tightly.

" Yeah," Marin admitted, feeling a strong breeze from the altitude.

"No worries, just trust me." Chat Noir said confidently, looking around as he could see the enemy getting closer. He grasped Marin tighter, leaving no space between as they fell towards the Eiffel Tower. Upon solid ground, Marin gasped in relief, all but falling to his knees.

" Thank you Chat Noir."

" No problem, now, we need to hide you until Ladybug and I can take down Befana." He said.

"Wait-" Marin called as Chat Noir turned to him. " The Akuma, it's in Befana's candy canister."

"Candy Canister?"

Marin nodded, "The tin that she's using the refill her gun."

" How can you be sure?"

" The tin has sentimental value..." Marin admitted, " I think Befana is my Nonna, my grandma." He explained.

"Dang, what did you do to get on your grannie's bad side?" Chat Noir had to ask as Marin looked annoyed.

" I didn't do anything, I haven't seen her in over a decade!" He insisted, surprising Chat Noir with his tone.

" Alright there, first things first, you need to hide," He said just about to jump off the tower as he then remembered. "

" Uh, there's no-" Marin was about to say, but then Chat Noir kissed his hand.

"Happy Birthday, as your self appointed knight for the day, it's my job...no, duty to protect my prince." He said flirtatiously as Marin laughed to himself.

"I appreciate it." He said simply as Chat Noir winked at him, jumping off the tower as he dived towards the city.

Marin looked around, spotting a storage closet and an elevator nearby as he immediately ran into the closet. Tikki flew out,

"I guess it's time for a family reunion sugar cube." Tikki, spots on!"

Ladybug overheard the song. "La Donna è Mobile", as Befana approached the Eiffel tower with an army of fairies.

" La Befana comes at night, on her shaky broom in flight. She gives out candy to those who are dandy. And only gives coal to brats with no soul-" Befana sang just before she was knocked off her bike by Chat Noir's staff.

" Cat Noir comes to, unexpectedly…" Chat Noir sang, then faltered for a moment. "Uh, how do you make that rhyme?" He asked as Befana looked at him enraged.

"You little thief! Where have you hidden moi nonno?!

Chat Noir shrugged his shoulder. "I nonno." He joked, then evade the oncoming fairies trying to attack him. He noticed Befana smiling towards the tower as she refilled her pistol, aiming justly as she jumped back on her bike. She was shooting her coal pellets at the tower, slowly turning it and the people who were on it to coal.

"Hey, can I hitch a ride?" Chat Noir asked with a cheeky smile as he landed on her bike, shaking it as she snapped at him.

"Pets are not allowed on board!" She yelled, shaking him off. He yelled just he was falling, then feeling something wrap around his waist as the next thing he knew, he in the arms of his partner. "Sweeping me off my feet, as usual my lady." Chat Noir remarked as he was placed on the ground.

"What a sweet Ladybug you are. You'll make a perfect fairy!" Befana said as she shot her angel pellets at him.

Ladybug pushed Chat Noir behind him as he took out his already summoned Lucky Charm. A ladybug print trumpet, which he used to catch a few pellets, then used his yo-yo to shield them from the rest, which angered Befana. "You can't turn down a gift, you rude little imp! You take care of the kitty, my fairies, while I punish this polka-dot brat!" She ordered her fairies as they flew towards the two Heroes.

"One ticket to the top floor?" Ladybug requested as Chat Noir took out his staff. He glanced at his partner with a smile, then placed his weapon on the ground, lifting the two up at great speed, far faster than the fairies could fly.

"Please tell me you're not planning on jumping off." Chat Noir asked as Ladybug stood atop the staff, balancing unnaturally well as Chat Noir had to hand on.

"Nah." Ladybug remarked as Chat Noir sighed in relief.

"That's goo-"

"It's called falling...with style." Ladybug winked as he allowed gravity to claim him, seeing Chat Noir's exasperated face as Ladybug gripped his lucky charm.

He passed by the fairies flying up along with Befana flying up horizontally along the tower. For a moment she was shocked as the hero fell directly towards her. Even more so as he blew the horn in his hands, unleashing the pellets that he caught earlier. Turning Befana into a fairy, just as he grabbed the candy tin.

Before he hit the ground, he grabbed onto Chat Noir's staff, twirling on it just before he tumbled to the ground. Brushing off the dust just as Chat Noir arrived, walking up to his partner.

"See?" Ladybug remarked with a playful smirk. "Didn't even need my yo-yo" He said as Chat Noir conceded, his Cataclysm already activated as Ladybug tossed the tin towards him. As it broke the Akuma was released.

"No more mischief from you little Akuma. Time to purify!" Ladybug said as he swung his yo-yo towards the possessed Akuma, capturing it in one motion. Then opening it once more, watching the newly purified Akuma fly away. "Bye-bye, little butterfly." "Miraculous Ladybug!" He said and everything turned back to normal.

He and Chat Noir bumped fists as Ladybug noticed his Nonna turned back to normal. Chat Noir walked over to her as Ladybug ducked out.

"Later partner!" He called out, his miraculous beeping as he jumped up the tower.

Chat Noir helped Marin's grandmother to her feet as she looked around in confusion, "Where am I?" She asked. "I was at my son's place..." She recalled.

"Don't worry ma'am you and your grandson are safe," Chat Noir reassured.

"My Grandson?" She questioned for a moment as her expression grew guilty. Chat Noir followed her line of sight, his expression softening as he spotted Marin walking towards them. He slowed down as he glanced at his grandmother for the first time in years.

There was a brief silence between them as Chat Noir stood between them. Her eyes then fell towards his messenger bag, her expression softening as she placed her hand over her mouth.

"You kept shirt I embroidered for you..." she said, looking at the pink printed fabric, on his bag.

Marin placed his hand on the bag he carried everywhere, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I fixed it up when I outgrew it." He said simply. "I was pretty excited to show you when I finished it off, about 5 years ago." He said dryly, holding some content as Chat Noirs' ring started to beep.

The hero cursed the timing as he slowly backed away, not wanting to interrupt whatever what happening here. He hoped that the two would be able to reconcile as he jumped to the rooftops, heading towards the park just as night fell.

The party never even started, by the time Adrien has arrived it was late into the night and everyone had to go home. So the birthday curse continued for one more year.

"Not gonna say I told ya so." Nino said the next day, with his arm resting over Adrien's shoulder. He rolled his eyes his best friend, then something caught his attention.

"I'll catch up." Adrien said as he hid behind a locker, peering towards his friend.

Then he spotted Marin opening up his locker, well, trying to. Adrien stood to the side, spying as, after a few attempts, Alya had to open his locker for him. She patted his shoulder before walking off towards Nino again.

Adrien expression lit up as he saw Marin taking a blue wrapped box out of his locker. He looked at it in confusion for a moment, then opening. Adrien smiled as he saw the charm he had made a few days ago now in his friend's hand. He couldn't tell if Marin actually liked it or not, but he attached it to the hook of his pants, placing it in his back pocket as he placed the carefully torn wrapping and box into his bag with a small smile that he tried to keep to himself. Adrien placed his hand on the charm bracelet he was gifted weeks ago, rubbing the charm as he then walked away with a warm feeling in his heart.

Notes:

- incomplete familial story arcs are incomplete, y'all will get more in Glaciator...among other things.

- Also, also that bracelet that Adrien did not hand to Marin himself so he has no idea who gifted it? I would like y'all to keep it in mind when season 3 starts.
