The steam from your jasmine tea rises in delicate spirals between you and your grandfather, the only sound the steady, soft tick of an ornate clock in the shadowed room. Dust motes drift through a sliver of late afternoon light cutting past the shuttered windows. Without warning, a muffled thump and the rustle of fabric shatter the calm. Two silhouettes drop onto the balcony outside—one spotted in red, one sleek in black. Ladybug’s eyes scan the interior, then stop, locked on you. "Master Fu, we need your advice on—" Her voice catches. Her finger points. "Who’s that?" Cat Noir cocks his head, a curious, playful smirk touching his lips. "Good question, M'lady." The weight of their attention, and your grandfather’s, settles firmly on you.
