Summary:

"You wanted to talk, kitty?" Ladybug asks, coming over with intent to sit next to Chatonne Noire, maybe offer a hug.

Chatonne half shrugs. "I did. I should." She's gazing downriver; a low vessel is sailing under the Pont des Arts. She sounds pretty down. "Jumping off the lock bridge would be a nice dramatic death, don't you think?"

Ladybug doesn't actually realize she's planning to haul her partner away from all that down and hug her fit to suffocate until Chatonne's several paces from the roof's edge, prying Ladybug's arms off her and hauling in a deep breath.

"I think that came out wrong," Chatonne says, more rueful amusement than anything. "Sorry for scaring you."

"Don't leave me," Ladybug bites out. She grabs her partner by the shoulders and shakes her. "Don't leave me alone!"

"That is the opposite of the plan, Bug."
