In Feast, Master Fu talked about visiting the temple now that had been fixed with the miraculous cure right? Now that his memory is gone, Marinette must go to the temple of the guardians to gather more information and training because she is the new guardian with little to no knowledge of what the heck she is doing.
- Marinette tells her parents that she wants a change in scenery and goes to visit her mother’s side of the family. Instead, she travels to Tibet for Guardian training.
- Ladybug explains to Chat Noir that she will be traveling to Tibet every day for Guardian training. Chat asks to come with but she says she must do this alone.
-She explains that if there is an akuma that all he needs to do is contact her and she will use the horse miraculous to travel back to Paris.
- Hawkmoth does not unleash too many akumas in the time Ladybug is gone because he is formulating new plans, helping Natalie, and fixing the peacock miraculous.
- She starts her training and learns of the Order of the Guardians and gives condolences to anyone who might have known Fu.
- Here she learns to cancel emotions so that Hawkmoth can never akumatize her and distancing techniques so that the burden of being a guardian is less stressful and overwhelming.
- The other guardians hypnotize Marinette to when her emotions become so overwhelming, she gets trapped in her own headspace so that Hawkmoth cannot akumatize her. When she gets so overwhelmed, she gets a small shiver down her spine and she and all emotions get trapped in her headspace. One can tell because the light in her eyes flicker and become duller. She is trapped in that headspace until someone can snap her out of it.
- Her training is finally over and she heads back to Paris
- Marinette comes back to her school a few weeks later and everyone asks if she is ok. Her training has changed her and knowing that she has all this new responsibility, she emotionlessly responds that she is ok.
- There is a new seating chart because Marinette was gone for so long. Lyla sarcastically asks if this is ok because she is sitting with Alya now. Marinette responds, again with no emotion, that it doesn’t bother her and it is better if she sits in the back.
- The first breakdown happened at the end of the first day back at school when it seemed like no one cared that she was gone. She knew it would be like this, but it still hurt.
- Her breathing gets shorter and her chest tightens up. Her vision blurs into nothingness as she hunches over slightly. She feels a shiver down her back and she collapses. Adrien, Alya, and the rest of her class run over to her as she lies lifeless on the ground.
- Luka coincidentally comes to visit Marinette because he heard that today was her first day back. He watches as she collapses on to the pavement and runs to her as everyone crowds her. He goes full beast mode and makes everyone move because he knows what to do via Juleka’s panic attacks.
- Luka puts his hand on her cheek as he softly calls her name and Marinette slowly comes back to.
- She grows closer to Luka because of how he comforted her from Loveater and because he can bring her out of her headspace. She doesn’t tell him everything, but she tells him she has a new huge responsibility. Luka is the only person who Marinette is herself around anymore. Adrien is closer to Kagami and Alya, Nino, and the rest of the class are influenced by Lyla.
- Marinette has many breakdowns over the course of the weeks on learning to isolate all emotions and every time, only Luka can truly bring her back so quickly. Adrien becomes saddened every time Luka helps Marinette when he cannot. Luka playing guitar automatically calms down Marinette every time.
- Marinette finds small coping mechanisms here and there. Her favorite is spending time with the kwami of the miraculous. They all talk until the strain of wearing all the miraculous exhausts her. One of these times, she accidentally passes out from exhaustion.
- Marinette has dreams of Fu being captured and used as bait against her and Cat Noir even though he has no memories.
- Over time, Marinette’s eyes become glossed over from not expressing emotion for days on end.
