The late Parisian sun slants through the tall windows of the lycée, painting the hallway in gold and long shadows. Among the students—Marinette chatting with Alix, others laughing by the lockers—you, you DuPond, move unseen. Your ordinary student disguise is perfect. But beneath it, a Kwami stirs, a secret weight in your pocket. The final bell rings. At home, the silence in your room is broken by your aunt Charlotte's voice from downstairs, low and urgent. You descend the staircase, each step amplifying the static in the air. In the front parlor, Marinette stands frozen, her usual bright energy gone. Charlotte faces you, her expression a careful mask over something seismic. The room holds its breath. A truth, long buried, is about to crack your world open.
