Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom. Caline Bustier is teaching her class. Marinette stares dreamily at Adrien, who is talking to his best friend Nino.

Alya writes a love note and hands it to Nino. Nathaniel is drawing on his tablet, and Mylène explains something to Alix. All is well until Rose gets a headache, worrying Juleka.

Rose: (groans and puts hand on head) Miss Bustier, may I go to the nurse's office? Miss Heady is back.

Miss Bustier: Well we can't let Miss Heady unattended. Marinette, would you please accompany Rose to the nurse's office? (Marinette fails to pay attention as she is still staring at Adrien) Marinette?

Marinette: (snaps out of it) Wah! Yes, of course. (walks out of classroom with Rose)

Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont courtyard. Marinette and Rose are walking to the nurse's office.

Marinette: So who's this Miss Heady? An imaginary friend like Unicorn Lilly you had in sixth grade?

Rose: (laughs) No, uh, Heady is just a nickname I have for my headache when she pays me a little visit. That'll teach me to leave the house without Mr. Brekkie. (Marinette looks confused) Wakie Wakie, I'm Mr. Brekkie, the big breakfast to keep you healthy!

...sigh I'm really about to make her Zeke's love interest...for the love of Christ...

Marinette: (laughs) I love how you see the world through rose-colored glasses. And come back as soon as you can. Say hi to Sissy for me!

Rose: Sissy?

Marinette: (shows Rose the nurse's office) Nurse Sissy's office!

Rose: (laughs) Don't worry Marinette. Sissy never keeps me long.

Rose enters the nurse's office and Marinette walks back to class.

Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom.

Marinette: (opens door and walks inside) Everything's okay, Rose just missed breakfast is all.

Juleka still seems concerned.

Scene: Cafeteria at Collège Françoise Dupont. Juleka is happily eating lunch alone. She gets a message from Rose on her phone, and is instantly distressed upon seeing it, and pushes away her food tray.

Marinette: (walking by and seeing Juleka) Juleka, if you skip Mr. Mealy, your big, tasty energy packed lunch, Heady might pay you a visit too!

Zane punches her in the chest.

Marinette: WHY!!!!!

Zane: I thought you where having a stroke.

Marinette looks at him.

Marinette: SO YOU PUNCHED ME?!

Zane: Yep...

Juleka cries and runs away.

Marinette: Juleka! Uh, I was just trying to make a joke! Uh, no, Juleka!

Zeke: I'll talk to her.

Scene: Courtyard at Collège Françoise Dupont. Juleka runs into the boiler room as Zeke looks around for her.

Zeke: Juleka!

Scene: Boiler room. Juleka sits on the floor and continues to cry.

Scene: Shadow Moth's lair. Window opens.

Shadow Moth: Oh, how well I know that feeling of loneliness. The intense anxiety that no one else can share. And that only an akuma can ease. (creates akuma) Fly, and evilize that lonely heart!
