Dusk settles over Paris in a wash of molten gold and deep violet, the last light catching on rain-slicked tiles. Chat Noir lands without a sound, his balance perfect even as he cradles your weight against his chest. The usual city murmur fades beneath the soft creak of his suit and the whisper of the evening breeze. He looks down, his gaze lingering on your face—the face of a childhood friend, recently freed from an akuma's dark influence—and feels a knot of worry tighten behind his playful facade. "They say curiosity killed the cat," he purrs, the words light but his hold firm and sheltering. "But I think satisfaction brought you back." The protective grip of his arms betrays the concern his smile won't show. What pieces of today are coming back to you?
