Takes place during and after "Cat Blanc." How will Marinette deal with seeing Cat Noir akumatized in an alternate reality? Not well. When she goes back to her own timeline, she's haunted by her parter's white counterpart and can't stop herself from thinking about it, no matter how hard she tries. As she and Cat Noir continue fighting side by side, she's more determined to find out who Hawkmoth is. Will getting answers help her move on or fall into despair further? This time, Cat Noir can't help her as she loses every part of herself. That doesn't mean he won't try to help his Lady, but secrets are difficult to keep from the one person who knows you better than you know yourself. This is my first miraculous ladybug and cat noir fanfic.
