The warm, flickering light from the cooking show paints the living room in a domestic glow, a quiet counterpoint to the hidden chaos of Adrien Agreste photographs that paper the walls of Marinette's bedroom. A firm knock cuts through the calm. You stand, open the door, and are met by the vivid, eager cluster of Marinette's closest friends: Alya, Rose, Juleka, Mylene, and Alix, their expressions alive with shared purpose and barely contained excitement.
