Paris, Françoise Dupont school. The cafeteria buzzes with gossip; Ray and Prem mock Adrien and Marinette’s romance, while Loïc sabotages a cake box in vain. In the amphitheater, Marinette kneels, shattered by a faked video and Adrien’s cruel words. An Ultrakuma strikes her purse. Cat Noir fails to stop it. Chrysalis whispers into Marinette’s despairing mind, offering power to fix hearts. Adrien pleads, de-transforming. Marinette, sobbing, accepts the deal. Purple ether engulfs her as Tikki gasps. Adrien watches in horror. Marinette emerges as Heartfixer, mask sealing.
