Chapter Text
Everything depends on that one thing.
Like a line of dominoes, when one falls, all of them start falling.
Like a flurry of akumas, even if one person gets akumatized they are successful.
The difference between life and death is one breath.
One breath.
Such an insignificant thing, a single breath.
That one breath can kill you or let you live.
That one breath decides your fate.
So is Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
The last thing, the last thread holding all of it together.
The one Ladybug in the face of akumas and their sweet, tempting power.
But when she falls, she takes everything with her.
Like that one breath that you die without.
Or worse, the one you choke to death upon.
When Marinette Dupain-Cheng falls, she will be that breath.
And they will choke on it.
So badly they wouldn't remember their names.
That was her promise.
