Of singular mind, Marinette leaps down through the gaping hole in the roof of the Agreste mansion. The damage stems from a subterranean floor, and the fall is a lot longer than Marinette expects. As she reaches the site of the apparent explosion, visibility diminishes to almost zero with all the dust and debris still clouding the air. Marinette coughs to dispel the tightness in her lungsāa discomfort that is matched only by the pit in her stomach the size of the opening in the roof. She canāt connect the dots yet.
She worries that Adrien and Mr. Agreste have also been hurt by whatever caused such a mess. Was Chat Noir trying to save them from this?
If anything, Marinette finally knows why Adrien had missed half a day of school, but seeing his home like this does absolutely nothing to make her feel better.
āChat Noir!ā she calls, making him her priority because Plagg looks lost and scared and it must be so, so bad. Once she gets her partner to safety, she can call an ambulance for the Agresteās if they have indeed been hurt.
Walking forward cautiously through the dust, Marinette scans the area for signs of people. She canāt tell what kind of room sheās in. From the metal-grated floor and collapsed steel beams in her way, she knows it isnāt a typical family basement.
āHeās over here!ā Plagg leads her to a pile of rubble.
Marinette dashes to him. Her eyes and throat sting from the dust, but also because she sees a head of blond hair through the haze. His body is lifeless, and once sheās close enough, she takes in the sight of two steel beams and a slab of drywall covering him. She kneels, her hand instinctively coming to push his hair away from his face.
His eyes are closed, but she knows if they were to open, sheād see the most beautiful green ocean.
She gasps. āAdrienā¦?ā
