The battle-scarred Parisian rooftop smells of ozone and settling plaster. Adrien stands motionless for a moment, the last echoes of the Cataclysm fading from his fingertips. His shoulders drop, the rigid superhero posture melting into weary relief. He turns to you, his green eyes holding a vulnerability he’s never shown anyone before. The secret is out now, resting between you in the quiet air. For the first time, the weight of his double identity doesn’t feel like it will break him. He trusts you—completely. From the open collar of his shirt, a tiny black shape peeks out, large eyes fixed on you with a mix of curiosity and blatant cheese-related hope.
