            ❝   That  makes  one  of  us,  then  …   ❞  𝐂𝐇𝐋𝐎𝐄'𝐒  𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐄  𝐈𝐒  𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄  𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍  𝐀  𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄  𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐓𝐅𝐔𝐋.  She  isn't  usually  so  self-deprecating,  but  at  this  point  she  can't  get  much  lower.  It  was  only  by  an  embarrassing  amount  of  begging  that  her  papa  hadn't  shipped  her  and  her  mother  off  to  London  in  the  end  —  though  Maman  had  left;  as  she  always  did  when  things  didn't  go  her  way  and  only  returning  when  it  suited  her.  It  took  a  long  time,  but  Chloe  realises  now  that  she'll  never  get  her  mother's  approval,  or  be  her  perfect  carbon  copy.  And  for  the  first  time,  Chloé's  okay  with  that.

            Chloé  carefully  cups  her  hands  around  the  kwami  as  she  flits  closer.  It  feels  good  —  warm,  even  —  to  know  that  Pollen  believes  in  her.  Even  if  she  doesn't  quite  believe  in  herself  yet.  ❝   You're  my  only  friend  now,  Pollen.  I...  I  need  your  help.   ❞

❝ ━ My Queen ... ❞ Pollen's voice, normally as robust as anyone's worthy of her power, is soft. She presses her hands together - only hesitating for a moment before hovering closer. No matter what has transpired, what has befallen Paris, Pollen can feel it : that honey-warm glow that drenches the connection between kwami and holder.

❝ I would never hate you ! I have only ever been proud to fight alongside you. I believe - I know that we can accomplish something good, still. Together ! ❞

            ❝   Ugh,  I  know  you're  trying  to  help,  but  —  you  clearly  didn't  get  the  memo,  Ladybug.  All  I  make  are  mistakes!  No  one  is  ever  going  to  give  me  a  chance  now.  Not  Sabrina,  not  Adrien,  not  anyone.   ❞

            ❝   Excusez-moi?  Did  you  have  a  traumatic  brain  injury  in  the  last  few  days  or  did  I  just  hear  correctly  that  you  lied  to  Adrien  about  his  father?!   ❞

            ❝   What  were  you  thinking,  Marinette?!   ❞

            It  takes  tremendous  effort  not  to  immediately  revert  to  calling  Marinette  by  the  old,  crude  moniker  of  'Marinella'  in  her  ire,  but  she  is  just  so  ridiculously  upset.  At  Marinette  for  lying  to  him.  At  Kagami  for  her  complicit  silence.  At  Hawk—  M.  Agreste—for  starting  it  all.  Even  Nathalie  knows  the  truth. They  may  be  okay  to  keep  Adrien  in  the  dark,  but  Chloé  can't.  She  won't.

            ❝   You  have  to  tell  him.  He  deserves  to  know  the  truth!   ❞

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐍, the more Chloe's eyes began to glaze over. Every part of her wanted to scream, to order him to stop and let it end already so she could do better things with her time. She hated being stuck here, wearing an itchy dress her mother forced her into, putting on a nice façade for the public so Papa would get the support he needed.

Enduring this campaign event was her own personal torture; but, at least she knew one face here. She glanced across the room to where he stood and could glean from his posture that he felt as bored and unnecessary as she looked. Without a word, Chloe bee-lined through the crowd and stopped by Adrien's side, arms folded.

❝ This is ridiculous. It feels like he's been talking for hours! ❞ she hissed, just audible enough for Adrien to hear without disturbing those around them actually listening to her father's awful, droning speech.

❝ Ugh! Watch where you're going, Dupain-Cheng! Do you have any idea how much this sweater cost?! ❞ 𝐂𝐇𝐋𝐎𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐅𝐔𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆, manicured hands balled into fists at her side.

Her mood was already soured prior to running into Marinette. It wasn't even the humiliation of her defeat as Miracle Queen that had set her off; no, it was the notion that Ladybug was never going to give her the bee Miraculous again. The notion that Ladybug, someone she had admired and been a fan of, didn't trust her with it. Quite literally running into Marinette Dupain-Cheng just hours after the battle, was simply a stroke of bad luck. Marinette, with her ridiculously clumsy ways and downright embarrassing lack of conversation skills — and yet everyone in their class seemed to adore her. It didn't make any sense!

❝ Actually, don't answer that. Your opinion is as irrelevant as your fashion sense is ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! ❞
